21. Composition The main friezes are bordered on all sides: Enclosed red-figure palmettes Linked black-figure pomegranates Stylised black-figure buds Ray bands around the base Handles are decorated with ivy leaves Euedemos’ walking stick interrupts the upper border
22. Both sides of the vase show 3 figures, a composition typical for Euthymides. This provides a balance on both friezes, but also allows him to contrast different poses on either side.
23. The borders of the frieze follow the contours of the shoulder of the vase, and line up with the handles.
