Ring foot; rilled rim, sloping inwards. Two raised rings on underside. Concave moulding on undersurface. Decoration on floor: small central circle, around this, band of enclosed ovules within palmettes; pattern repeated. Two string holes in foot. Totally glazed.
A fragment with a similar pattern, P 10276 Len. Hesperia, XXXII, 1963, pl. 52, 33, uses a slightly smaller stamp. A much bigger palmette stamp is used on P 8438 B 13:6-L, a fragment of floor; the whole pattern can be seen on a plate which uses the same stamp, Oxford 1928.39:CVA 2(9) pl. 62(426) 8 and pl. 65(429) 18, not quite the canonical profile. P 16941 A-B 21-22:1 uses palmettes for the small central circle but ovules only for three larger circles. Also similar, Athens, Acropolis Museum, from the Syntagma Cemetery: Ἐφ., 1958, p. 58, figs. 97 and 97 a (Grave LXVI = 56).
