Foot and lower body. Conical foot with a small cone on the underside. Reserved: outer face of the foot, underside of the foot and cone. Glaze is streaky in one area.
Probably among the earliest Athenian black-glaze pieces to arrive at Sardis. Although Att 158 was found in fill, the associated sherds were consistently Archaic: an Ionian cup, P63.357:5484; Corinthian sherd, P63.355:5482; bird bowl, P63.356:5483, and various additional fragments of Corinthian and East Greek material.
