Swing (a woman swinging another). On the left, a woman wearing a chiton and sakkos, her mantle pulled down around her waist, stoops to push the girl on the swing. The girl swings forward, her hair and chiton flying. Her mantle is draped over her lap. The swing has four legs, three of which are visible. A large, close-mouthed vessel (?) is sunk into the ground between the two women, and a basket stands on the far left, behind the woman pushing the swing. A festoon hangs over her head.
