- Description
- Probably late in MC. Two fragments from the lower body and base, joined. A portion of a bird, perhaps a rooster, to right. There is a large incised rosette in the field, as well as blob fillers. Beneath the bird are three thin, parallel lines of black glaze. On the underside of the aryballos are two concentric circles, one of which is visible in Pl. 22. Glaze: black, glossy, and partially worn. Clay: hard, and fairly fine. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/4 (very pale brown).Another small fragment, possibly from an aryballos, was found at BF E 684.00--689.00/S 328.00--333.00 *182.70. It shows the leg of a bird resting on a line of glaze with two bands of glaze below. In the field are two carelessly executed rosettes. The glaze has all but vanished. Date: MC.
