- Description
Probably LPC. Fragment of an offset rim and handle. Exterior: remains of linear decoration in the handle zone; two vertical lines near the rim. Glaze: almost entirely vanished. Clay: fairly fine. Beige. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/3 (very pale brown).
According to Weinberg, the round pyxis with linear decoration continues in use to the end of the seventh century and has been found in EC graves at Corinth (”PC Geometric," 40; on his chronology, however, supra, "Kotylai with Linear Decoration," n. 32).
