- Description
MPC-II. Nine fragments, five joined, of a linear kotyle preserved from the lip to near the foot. Exterior: two horizontal lines at the rim. A series of vertical bars (fourteen preserved) in the frieze to the right of the two remaining handle stubs. The vertical bars stay within the horizontal framing lines. Fifteen horizontal lines remain on the upper body. Interior: a single line in the reserved area of the rim; otherwise glazed. Glaze: brownish red with some areas slightly redder than others. Worn in the handle frieze and on parts of the upper body. Clay: hard, smooth, and fine. Munsell no. 7.5 YR 7/4 (pink).
An excellent example of the way in which a single vase can be found scattered over the site at HoB.
