- Description
- Two fragments of a thin-walled skyphos with buff-fabric. Slightly inturned rim with tapering lip. Horizontal loop handle. Exterior: a narrow band at the rim. The handle is black and the handle zone has raised knobs on each side of the handles, also painted black. Small hole perforated in the top of each knob; one barely pierces through, the other just misses. Perhaps used to hang up the cup? In the handle zone, rectilinear motifs composed of dots. Below the handle zone, a narrow band followed by a much thicker one. Interior is black. Similar to rosette bowls.
