On the other side are two armed warriors running to the right, the lead warrior with his head turned back. Both carry a spear and a circular shield shown in profile with a red-dotted border, and both wear a red-banded Corinthian helmet. On one side of this amphora are three dancing nude komasts, two with white wreaths around their necks. Their hair is rimmed in added red.

On the underside of the foot is a complex dipinto in red.
