- Description
- Rim fragment. Exterior: lip and handle zone reserved; on the rim, a black band; two dots, one on the upper edge, one on the lower edge of lip, may be accidental. On the handle zone, a horizontal band just below the lip. Part of a palmette with added purple on central petal and a trace of incision. Interior: glazed, except for a reserved band just below the rim. The shape of the lip is very gently concave, with only a tiny shift in angle to the handle zone. Inside, however, there is a sharp angle at the junction of the lip and body.
- Dimensions
- P.H. 0.03; P.W. 0.035; Th. 0.002.
- Comments
- The palmette was probably placed near the handle; cf. Munich, Antikensammlungen 2165, from Vulci, ABV 171, 1; ABFV fig. 115.
