Parts of an ikrion in the lower right edge of the fragment, with the head of a seated figure poking out of it. The structure consists of a square construction with a thick wavy line delimiting its upper edge, with two additional horizontal bands dividing its surface. There is a tapering vertical pole rising out of it, with another oblique line crossing behind the ikrion and the head of the man. At the base of the ikrion there is a dolphin protome rearing up.

Part of a Minoan type ship on the right. To the left there is a shoreline with marching men broken off at waist level. Below them in the lower left corner are at least two men carrying body shields, with the man on the right holding a long baton in his outstretched hand.

A rare example of a narrative composition. The artist has made an error in aligning the mast with the ikrion. The dolphin protome echoes the sternpost lions and griffins on the Theran fresco ships.
