Domed askos. Low ring foot, broad plain-rimmed spout; strap handle concave in section; around lip a wheelrun groove, another partway down the spout and a pair around top of wall. Pinkish clay, gray at core, yellow-buff surfacing or slip. Dull reddish glaze on spout inside and out, on top of handle and for decoration on body: a broad band with a stripe below it around upper wall; on each side of dome a large arc springing from the horizontal band; on shoulder to either side, three petal-like blobs. Probably Rhodian.
Similar, but the decoration a rough two-petalled flower, P 20793 R 12:1. From Rhodes, of bronze, Cl. Rh., VIII, p. 194, fig. 189; of pottery with rough decoration on the top, Annuario, VI-VII, 1923-24, p. 287, fig. 184, 5 and p. 303, fig. 199, 3, all from Ialysos. On both these examples the handle springs from midway up the neck and the rim is defined, not plain. Similar to 1726, but slightly more squat, in Corinth, C-37-2046: Hesperia, VII, 1938, p. 598, fig. 22, 154, also non-Attic.
