This vase-painting depicts the encounter of Orestes and Elektra at the grave of their assassinated father, Agamemnon. Elektra seats on the stepped base of the tomb (a stele with a calyx-krater at the top), mourning. She wears a multi-folded chiton that covers her head, and jewels. A hydria, an aryballoid lekythos, an Attic lekythos, two pomegranates and a taenia on the steps are the offerings to the deceased. A second taenia, from which an aryballos and a strigil are hanged, encircles the burial monument. Orestes stands to the left. He wears a Phrygian pilos (conical cap), chlamys and embades (boots) and holds a spear and a phiale (vessel for choes, liquid offering to the dead). Hermes (or Pylades) stands on the right, holding a wreath. He rests on the caduceus and wears chlamys and petasos.
