- Description
Wall fragment. Part of two friezes, separated by three rows of dots, more or less regularly spaced on top of each other and framed by glazed lines, thinly applied. Top frieze: two forelegs of a lion (?) and, in front of it, the top of the lowered head of a sheep or mountain goat. Lower frieze: the top of an animal's tail and probably a rosette at the left. Interior black glazed. The double hooks on the upper legs are typical of lions by the Polos Painter.
Across the middle of the sherd was a break, mended in antiquity by a lead rivet, which is still in place and projects out both sides of the sherd.
