A broken pottery vessel, most of the left side is missing. The interior has been glazed with a dark pigment. The handle on the right side is preserved. Two bands of decoration are visible on the body. The bottom a series of nested circles, each comprising 7 rings and adot in the center. The upper band shows a man and four-legged animal, in silhouette, fighting. The animal faces right, teeth bared and tongue showing. The man's sword is in his left hand jabbing toward the animal, scabbard at the waist.

Geometirc period vase. Perhaps the Teumessian Fox.
