- Description
Wall fragment. A part of the haunch and the tail of a feline, probably a panther, facing to left. Two incisions mark the join of the tail and body, and a long, curving incision separates the buttocks. There are two horizontal incisions with upturned ends on the haunch. Glaze: black thinning to red in places. Clay: fine and hard. Munsell no. 10 YR 6/4 (light yellowish brown).
There is a possibility that Cor 127 is a Corinthian imitation since the clay remained slightly micaceous after washing. On unusual clays, see also Cor 117, Cor 118.
