Description
Not certainly Attic. Thick walls, offset rim, and heavy handles. Chase, "Field Notes": "Buff clay, fine black and red varnish applied in parts so as to give the effect of streaked technique. Exterior: near bottom of bowl, broad 'spared' band, decorated with rising rays and defined below by a single line of red overcolor. Offset rim ‘spared,’ and decorated with oblique wavy lines. Interior: edge of lip ‘spared.’ At center, traces of disk in red varnish. Between center and lip, broad band in streaked technique. In many fragments: foot, stem with center of bowl, and several small fragments missing. Local imitation of Attic ware (?).”
