To the left, a woman is bringing a disc filled with fruits, ready to offer them to the god Kabeiros who is lying to the right. She wears a himation richly decorated, earrings and her hair are bounded by a sphendone (a kind of scarf). The god Kabeiros is depicted lying in an anaklintro which is covered by bed covers or carpets decorated with animals. He is resting his left hand and his feet on pillows. He holds a rhyton in his right hand and a kylix in his left. He is semi-naked, only a himation covers his lower body, and wears a diadema on his head. There is a three-legged table in front of him.
