Description Probably same use as 19670067. Shows a standing figure with a high head and an incised hairline. Two volutes, perhaps wings, appear from its shoulders, curving out almost as high as the head. Its hanging, slightly bent arms are barely visible. From the area below the arms a thick in-curving volute springs on the right (and probably on the left) to form the widest part of the decoration. In the center there is a small round knod. The back is smooth and has a squarish scar at the bottom, probably for attachment to the vase.
