- Description
- Late in MPC or early in LPC. Rim fragment. Exterior: two thin horizontal lines preserved at the lip. Ten sigmas facing left in the handle zone, eight fully preserved. The six thin horizontal lines on the upper body are unevenly spaced. Interior: a thin line of glaze in the reserved area of the lip; otherwise glazed. Glaze: dark brown on the lines of the lip, the sigmas, and on the interior; reddish brown on the horizontal lines of the upper body. The change in color is probably deliberate (supra, "Kotylai with Linear Decoration," 15 and n. 95). Clay: hard, smooth, and fine. Yellow-buff. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/4 (very pale brown).
