Handle Of Closed Vessel.

Broken at top and bottom; part of wall of vessel preserved at bottom.

Vertical handle, triangular in section, from vessel with sloping shoulder, perhaps a rather plump oinochoe. Plastic attachment, possibly a comic mask, at base. Eye painted white(?); white fillet hangs down right side of mask. Trace of painting in orange and white on vessel wall. Metallic black glaze.

For plastic attachments at this point cf. 415--418, 420--422, 424, 428--438, 440, 445--448, 465; D. B. Thompson 1973, passim (faïence); The Search for Alexander, nos. 109, 134, 163, 165, pp. 157, 169, 184, 185 (silver and bronze).
