This style is characterized by figures and motifs painted in black silhouette against the natural red color of the clay. The vessel has a rounded body and a flared mouth, typical of the olpe shape.

The decoration on the olpe features a dynamic scene with two figures. The figure on the left appears to be a lion, rendered in profile, with detailed attention to its mane and body posture.
