- Description
- Probably LPC. The lower portion of the body and the foot of what was probably an oinochoe with linear decoration, restored from joining pieces. Exterior: seven thin horizontal lines appear on the belly, followed by three glazed bands of varying widths and a single glazed line. The tips of the short thick rays touch this line. The bases of the rays, which spring from a line on the foot, are not quite contiguous. There is another line of glaze on the lower part of the foot ring. Glaze: dark brown but badly worn in places, especially on the rays. Clay: hard and fine with some small air pockets. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/3 (very pale brown).
