The figures and the chariot are rendered in the black-figure style, with details incised to reveal the underlying clay.

The decoration includes geometric patterns around the shoulder and a simple line separates the scene from the lower portion of the vase, which is painted in black. The lekythos appears to have some wear, indicative of its age and the fragility of ancient pottery.
