Protocorinthian. Nine joining and nonjoining fragments from rim to lower body, including one handle and the stub of the other. Brown on burnished clay. Plain rim; deep bowl; loop handles. Exterior, two horizontal lines along rim; traces of a single horizontal line over both handles. Handle zone: a reserved band with a series of short vertical lines on each side of a row of dots on each face of the kotyle; below the handle until mid-bowl, fifteen horizontal lines; a reserved band. Lower body, a double horizontal line forming the upper border of rays (upper tips are preserved). Interior, a single horizontal line along rim in a reserved band; the rest painted.
