- Description
- Late in LPC or early in TR. Small rim fragment. Exterior: two lines of glaze at the rim; one passes over the top of the lip. Six vertical lines and portions of four fat sigmas appear in the handle frieze. One of the vertical lines crosses over the horizontal framing lines. Eight horizontal lines of medium thickness and varied spacing remain on the body. Interior: a reserved line near the rim, otherwise glazed. Glaze: exterior, dark brown; interior, reddish brown, with a dark brown line on the top of the lip. Clay: smooth and hard; fired to two different colors on the exterior and interior, giving the impression of two layers of clay, yellow-beige on the exterior, pinkish beige on the interior. Munsell nos.: exterior, 10 YR 7/4 (very pale brown); interior, 7.5 YR 7/4 (pink).The careless rendering of the degenerated sigma suggests a date late in LPC or early in TR (supra, "Kotylai with Linear Decoration," 14).
