- Description
- Probably EC. Wall fragment. A series of parallel incisions, possibly representing tongues, radiates from the top. The incision is competent but not entirely even, and the sections vary in width. Added red in the second section from the right, with traces of red in the last two sections to the left. Glaze: black and glossy, but worn in places. Clay: fairly smooth and fine. Yellow-buff. Munsell no. 10 YR 8/4 (very pale brown).Four such fragments were found at Sardis, three at PN and one at HoB. This piece and Cor 92 and Cor 93 probably come from oinochoai. The fourth comes from an aryballos (Cor 97).
