A miniature chous (oinochoe, shape 3) with a trefoil mouth, bulbous body and ring foot. It features a woman’s head,  facing left between reserved scrolls and discs. She wears a sakkos, with a tuft of hair escaping at the temples. Her features and the folds of her headdress are drawn in fine relief lines. Women’s head on cosmetic vases, particularly lekythoi, were extremely popular among Campanian. The shape however, intended to hold and pour a small measure of wine, is not frequently encountered. Glaze unevenly applied and discoloured light brown at places. Intact but for minor chips on mouth and handle. Glaze on handle, rim and lower part of the body worn. White concretions.
