- Description
Wild Goat style (South or North Ionian?) oinochoe in seven joining and nonjoining shoulder fragments. Dark and added red over creamy white slip. Exterior, single horizontal line; horizontal wide painted band with a single line above and below: pendent solid rays with dot-rosettes in between points; two horizontal thin red bands over dark painted surface.
Uncertain Orientalizing oinochoe, 630 or 625 to 600 BC, according to M. Kerschner and N. Aytaçlar (personal communication, Sardis, July 1–2, 2016). They know of no comparable pieces in either South Ionian or North Ionian; the fabric looks Milesian.
