The red figure style is on a black background and replaced the earlier black figure style entirely. It measures 42 centimeters in height and 49 in diameter. The body of the vessel is wide and cylindrical with a slight flair at the top and a lip. The calyx krater has a wide foot, a short stem, and cupped body with two low rounded handles extending to the sides.

This Attic is generously adorned with figures encircling the ceramic that tells a story of a procession. A particularly beautiful example is the early 5th century BCE Attic red figure calyx krater by the Cleophrades Painter, currently located at the Louvre. The red figure calyx krater is representation of4th and 5th century BCE Greek vessels.
