Probably EC. Small wall fragment, probably from the join of the neck. Parallel incised lines radiate from the top. The incision is even and competent. Glaze: black and shiny. Clay: powdery, fine, and smooth. Munsell no. 10 YR 8/4 (very pale brown).
EC oinochoai were sometimes decorated in a plain style with carefully drawn, parallel incisions like these. Similar fragments were found at Old Smyrna and at Ephesus (see below).
