The cup lip is covered in black slip and clearly distinguished from the rest of the vessel.
The foot is similar to that of a Siana cup, but more elongated and painted with decorative stripes on the bottom.
Also similar to Siana cups, the interior is painted with a circular figural image, framed by a tongue pattern.
As usual on this shape, their signatures are placed straight between the fine handle palmettes.
The best-known painters of this type are Sondros, Phrynos, Sokles and Archikles.
