- Description
- Late in EC. Three wall fragments from a small kotyle, joined. Feline facing to right. Only the back of the right foreleg, the midsection, the rear legs, the haunch, and the tail remain. Incised rosettes, dots, and blobs appear in the field. The frieze is framed on the top by two thin lines of glaze, and on the bottom by three lines of glaze. The incision is competent but not anatomically exact: there are six short curved incisions for the ribs; a belly line which turns down sharply to suggest the inner contour of the haunch; and three large, curved incisions on the haunch itself. The off-rear leg has a rubbery curve. The incisions used for the paws are quick curves, placed inaccurately. Glaze: exterior, entirely vanished; interior, only specks of glaze remain. Glossy slip. Clay: hard and fine. Yellow-buff. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/3 (very pale brown).
