- Description
- Wild Goat style skyphos rim and body fragment. Black (poorly preserved) paint over creamy white slip. Exterior, a single horizontal band below rim; dog (?) running to left (head, left claw and a thin line at the end of neck reserved, rest solid painted); filling ornaments (swastika, flower rosette, pendent triangle). Careful drawing and slip look South Ionian, but the shape is rare in South Ionia and more common in North Ionia, according to N. Aytaçlar (personal communication, Sardis, July 1–2, 2016).
