Repaired from many fragments with in-painting and minor fills along breaklines, some of old paint along joins has cracked and flaked off and re-exposed breaks, it appears that one section of vase to 4 o'clock of tondo was broken again and hastily repaired, both black and red areas in tondo appear to have been almost entirely repainted but test-cleaning of discobolos indicates that underlying figure is likely to be still in good condition.
