Handles missing.

Slender body on disc foot; tall slightly spreading neck with heavy angular rim. Hard fairly clean red clay, gray at sur- faces. Decoration in red and white for bands on neck, shoulder and body; around wall a row of large stylized double lotuses in red, widely spaced; now much worn. Imitation Cypriot.

The decoration, badly damaged, is similar to that of 1484; for a related pattern cf. S.C.E., IV, 2, fig. LIX, 3 and II, pl. 99, 10 (Marion Grave 47-3). For the slender proportions of 1485-1486 see, e.g., the plain amphorae:

S.C.E., IV, 2, fig. LXIX, 2 and II, pl. 48, 2 (Marion Grave 34-36);

S.C.E., IV, 2, fig. LXIII, 8 and II, pl. 51 (Marion Grave 39-1). Compare also the hydria S.C.E., IV, 2, fig. LXIII, 16 and III, pl. 99, 1 (Vouni Grave 1-26). A distant imitation comes from Alexandria, 15895: Breccia, Sciatbi, pl. 43, 59.
