Ring foot. Two horizontal ribbon handles. Outturned rim. Handles glazed on outer face and most of inner. Under- surface has two glazed bands, the inner one covering inner and outer face of foot and area beyond. On the upper surface a reserved outer zone decorated with dot-surrounded discs alternating with loose zigzags, then a reserved line and at the reserved center an elaborate star framed by two reserved circles.

A fragment similar to this, P 22496, has the same deco- ration on the rim, except for the black discs. Cf. also a large plate from the Kerameikos, 35 HTR 1-3, and two plates which are by the same hand as 1081, from the Kerameikos, HS 89: Arch. Anz., 1964, cols. 435-436, fig. 24, left below; Δελτ., XVIII, 1963, Χπονικά, pl. 23.

The star pattern in the center is a traditional motif and is found on 6th century plates, e.g. Athens, Kerameikos: Ath. Mitt., XVIII, 1893, pp. 89-90, figs. 2-3; once Marseilles, Vlastos: J.H.S., LII, 1932, p. 69, fig. 11.
