    Description
    Black on Red fragment from near the center of a dish. Interior: two black concentric circles with dots in the space between them and another dot in the center. This motif repeated immediately next to it. The beginning of what looks like an omphalos in the center at the break. Underside, slipped, shows the thickening toward the foot. Coloration is dark, but not burned. Compare this to PC 80, likely by the same painter.
