A young girl with a topknot in a belted chiton bends forward in a ball game; she wears a bracelet on each wrist. She is catching a ball with a net or cloth which she holds with both hands. To her right is a spiral vine. The baseboard forms an ionic kyma.
From the fact that the woman is wearing only a chiton and no other cloak (himation), it can be concluded with great certainty that she is depicting a private event not taking place in public. (AVS)
