- Tanım
A large fragment, preserved from the top of the handle to the belly. On the shoulder are sixteen long narrow tongues, evenly spaced. Two glazed bands below the tongues separate them from the belly frieze. On the handle are four horizontal lines of glaze. On the belly is a frieze of padded dancers (komasts) moving to the right. Portions of three dancers remain. The heads are flat with long noses and narrow projecting chins (or beards?). The hair is formed in a single mass. The arms are thin and awkward, the bodies are small with only cursory incisions to indicate the chitons. The large incised rosettes and dots in the field are executed carelessly. Glaze: dark brown to black and crackled. No added color. Clay: hard and calcined. Pale yellow-buff. Munsell no. 10 YR 8/3 (very pale brown).
An example of what may have been an EC komast appears on a small shoulder fragment from an aryballos (P67.38:7386) found at PN W 263.80--265.70/S 339.40--340.50 *86.90--*85.60. The head of the figure impinges on the horizontal lines that decorate the shoulder. In the field are two incised rosettes, one with concentric circles at the center.
