Probably early in MC. Three large body fragments, joined. Dolphin to right, preserved from behind the head to the snout. Two concentric circles are used for the eye. Two large arcs appear behind the eye. An incised triangle, which may represent a flipper, meets the second arc. A long curved incision creates both the forehead and the division of the snout. A circular area beneath the dolphin may have been a blob rosette. The incision is firm and competent. The added red, which is preserved on the lower part of the sherd, may have been a series of lines. Glaze: almost entirely lost. Clay: soft, smooth, and very powdery. Almost white. Munsell no. 10 YR between 8/2 (white) and 8/3 (very pale brown).

The dolphin type agrees with others of Corinthian manufacture, especially in the use of two concentric circles for the eye, two concentric arcs on the head, and a triangular flipper (?). However, almost all Corinthian dolphins also have a small, dependent lower "fin" -- which is lacking in this example --and a forehead that is either more square or curves smoothly into the snout. The clay is paler and more powdery than other Corinthian examples found at Sardis, but see Cor 114, Cor 118 and Cor 127. Found at the same coordinates as Cor 118, but on a slightly different level.

Dolphins on East Greek pottery also lack lower "fins" and have foreheads shaped like that on the example from Sardis. There are, however, no other similarities between these dolphins and East Greek types.
