- Shoulder fragment. Stag (or dog?) in the silhouette technique, coursing to right, preserved from his haunch to near his antlered (?) head. The remains of a dot-in-circle rosette lie beneath the stag's belly. No incision. Glaze: light brown to black. Clay: medium textured with dark flecks in the grainy clay. Reddish buff with a light brown exterior. Closest to Munsell no. 7.5 YR 6/4 (light brown), but with a slightly more reddish hue. The piece imitates MPC. The clay is not local to Sardis.
