An archer running to 1., looking back and holding out to r. his bow, and
with r. drawing an arrow from a quiver which hangs at his waist from a cross-
belt. He is beardless, and wears a kidaris with flaps hanging on breast, and
decorated with a spiral over the ear, a close-fitting jacket and anaxyrides of
skin : the jacket opens down the front, and is edged with a band of key
pattern; the front part of it and the back part of the anaxyrides arc dappled
with eye-shaped marks ; the rest is covered with small dots : the seam down
the legs is decorated with a crenellated pattern. The quiver contains four
arrows, beside the one which is being taken out, and is decorated with a
pattern of dotted scales, the part intended for the bow being dotted only, as
if of skin : from the mouth hangs a wing-shaped flap ; around, EPIKTETOJ
