- Description
- Not certainly Attic. Chase, “Field Notes”: “Buff clay, fine black and red varnish, rather thinly applied in places, so that the effect resembles the streaked technique. Edge of foot and flat lip of bowl ‘spared’ [i.e., reserved]. Hollow inside of stem has at bottom broad band of light red varnish, bordered above and below by a narrow black line: the upper part is mottled with brown-black spots. The underside of foot has a narrow ‘spared’ band about central hole, and between this and edge a narrow line of red overcolor. Exterior: near bottom, broad ‘spared’ band decorated with rising rays and defined below by a single line of red overcolor, above by a pair of similar lines. Above, a little more than halfway to lip, another pair of lines in red overcolor. The outer edge of lip, single line of same. Interior: at center, disk in red varnish, ca. 0.087 in diameter.”
