  A first solution for the eclipsing binary TYC 4481-358-1 has been found by
combining the results of BVIc-photometry with known stellar models and stellar
spectral energy distributions (SEDs). The binary shows total and annular
eclipses in a circular 90-days orbit. Masses, radii and effective temperatures
have been derived: about 3.01 Msun, 14.29 Rsun and 4950 K for the giant, and
about 2.39 Msun, 2.39 Rsun and 9600 K for the dwarf. The peculiar dwarf is
discolored and shows a Teff - passband dependence from 9000 K in the Ic to 9800
K in the B band. The giant is in its final stage of core helium burning. The
interstellar extinction in our line of sight is considerable (Av about 1.44 mag
at an elevated Rv of 3.58).
