- Description
- Fragment of foot and floor of bowl. Reserved: resting surface, recessed bottom with circle and dot, and center of floor with circle and dot. Graffito on glazed inner edge of the foot: five lekythoi or alabastra (?), with round bottoms and square tops. Perhaps this represents someone's doodling or some kind of counting marks. Clay is grayish. Glaze on stem applied streakily. Confirmed as Attic by chemical analysis (Appendix 2, sample AP 8b).
