Neck fragments.

From an amphora. Rim flat on top and slightly projecting; upper attachment of vertical handle, oval in section, pre- served on each piece. Heavy fabric of gray clay pitted with small holes and containing a few white bits; deep pinkish orange slip, smoothed over the lumpy texture of the clay. Decoration in black to orange-red matt glaze, faintly lustrous where thick and black: on top of rim and on its outer face; for band around middle of neck and across tops of handle- attachments; band also at junction of rim and shoulder. Around the lower part of the neck, an interlocking S-pattern, set sideways.

Uncertain fabric. For the pattern cf. Larisa, III, pl. 31, 1-2; pl. 49, 20.
