- Description
Late in TR or early in EC. Two separate fragments, from the lower body to the foot. Exterior: a wide band of black glaze at the top of the wall fragment has thin lines of added purple and white. A reserved line followed by a wide band of glaze appears above the short thick rays. Their bases, which are placed far apart, spring from the join of the foot. A thick glazed line decorates the slant of the foot. Well executed. Interior glazed. Glaze: black and glossy, but worn. Clay: hard, with a pitted surface. Munsell no. 10 YR 8/3 (very pale brown).
The two pieces were found separated from one another, but clearly belong to the same vessel, probably a kotyle.
