White-ground lekythos, a type of oil vessel, with a slender neck and narrow base. The vessel's body is primarily white with a black base and a black neck; the mouth of the vessel is also black. A red drawing depicts youths at a tomb; one youth is seated on a stele and another stands to the left. The base of the vessel appears to be on a small circular platform. The background of the image is grey. The overall style is characteristic of ancient Greek pottery.
