Side A: a head wearing a Phrygian cap flanked by two floral bands on the neck and ivy decoration above. The middle of the body shows a naïskos with two figures, an elderly, bearded man and a child, perhaps Aeneas and Ascanius. The scene probably depicts Aeneas fleeing the city of Troy, taking his son Ascanius with him; two figures on the left: a naked man with a phiale in his left hand and a woman holding a box; on the right, three figures: a seated woman in discussion with a standing man and a a young man running to the left below. The figures around the aedicula (naiskos), who do not belong to the myth, show that the schene is reinterpreted in a funerary context (the deceased identifies with the heroes of the epic).
Side B: two floral bands on the neck, ivy decoration below the lip and a pamette between tendrils. The body decrorated with four figures: a seated woman with phiale or basket and crown, another standing woman holding a mirror; two seated, naked man, one of them with a bird on his righ hand. This crater most probably forms a pair with an amphora by the same painter.
