The scene depicted involves at least one human figure and appears to involve some kind of interaction or activity. The human figure is elaborately drawn with attention to detail and proper proportion.

Above the scene, there is a decorative band consisting of a meander or key pattern, a common motif in Greek art. Below the scene, the vase returns to the solid black color that covers the lower body and foot.

The details of the scene, such as the objects being held or operated by the figure(s) and the exact nature of the activity, along with specific identifiers such as clothing or attributes, could provide more context about the depicted narrative, mythological theme, or everyday life in ancient Greece.
