- Tanım
Late in MC or early in LC. Wall fragment. A portion of a quadruple lotus with crosshatched leaves in the shape of cones. Glaze: dark brown and uneven. Clay: fairly hard and smooth. Pale brown. Munsell no. 10 YR 6/2 (light brownish gray).
The clay is unusual, closer in color to East Greek than to the ordinary Corinthian clays found at Sardis. However, this may be the result of firing or the sherd may have been burned. The decoration has better parallels in Corinthian than in East Greek pottery.

- For the effect of firing, Johnston, “Pottery Practices” 82--83. Cf. for the lotus, P. Lawrence, "Five Grave Groups from the Corinthia," Hesperia 33 (1964) 101--102, pl. 21, no. K.4, a round aryballos with a pattern of lotus buds in a quatrefoil design, dated LC; Tocra I, pl. 9, nos. 79, 81, 83; CVA France 9, Louvre 6, III.C.a., pl. 5, nos. 1, 3 (Fr. 389). See also Cor 123 and Cor 124, although the style of Cor 138 is considerably more careless and the date later.
