Fragmentary single-levelled ship to the right with the bow section missing. The hull is rendered by a lower thick line joined to an upper thinner one by oblique strokes similar to the Eleusis ship. Incurving sternpost with two protruding planks. There are three spears kept at the stern. The helmsman is sitting on the upper horizontal, with his legs shown and his torso slightly forward, holding the steering oar. There are six oars without a detailing of the blades. The position of the helmsman and the two warriors standing on the upper horizontal line which represents the gunwale suggests either a deck or a central runway.

Main frieze on the vessel's body, consisting of warriors fighting on a ship. The warriors are variously equipped with swords, spears (in pairs or single), bows, and Dipylon shields. Two warriors on land frame the ship on each side, facing towards it. The warrior on the left side has his left hand raised holding a shield, with a sword in his right hand. The warrior on the right has his left hand extended backward ready to throw a spear. Aboard the ship is a helmsman and two more warriors engaged in repelling the assailants. The left warrior on the ship faces left, brandishing a sword and a spear, and is equipped with a Dipylon shield and a sword at his waist.
