- Description
Fragment of a carinated cup with a slight nick below the [missing] rim. Reddish-buff micaceous clay. Red painted decoration on exterior: horizontal band with vertical downward strokes; thick band below.
Imported, perhaps Mycenaean. Penelope Mountjoy (2016) felt it could be contemporary with Troy VIh or VIIa; but also thought the nick below the rim suggested Protogeometric.
