- Description
- A krater or bowl. The rim is slightly inturned. At the rim, a square-shaped handle is preserved in the form of four small, flattened vertical bands. A second handle is proposed on the reconstruction drawing. Vessel is decorated with bands of reddish-orange paint that vary in width. Exterior: the upper half is reserved. One wide band, and two narrower ones below, and the foot is painted as far as the lower reaches of the bowl. Interior, a large painted band that extends from the body of the vessel up over the rim; three more bands below this. Interior and exterior are both polished. The vessel was exposed to fire toward the base, resulting in discoloration. The clay is not typically Lydian.
