Wall fragment, slightly flaring. Glaze cracked a bit on outside.

Scratch at lower right. Max. dim. 0.064.

Lower part of draped forearm and hand of figure, perhaps a child, either frontal or standing to right. At the bottom of the fragment:

Relief contour. Dilute glaze: border of garment. Red: inscription.

The description of 284 on the Agora record card suggests that the hand is that of a child and restores the inscription to read: θυμε'λη . This was a low platform on which a sacrificial hearth or an altar stood. For a thymele, see RE, 2nd series, vol. 6, cols. 700--704, s.v. θυμε'λη (C. Fensterbusch); also, M. Bieber, The History of the Greek and Roman Theater, Princeton 1961, pp. xiv, 3, 14, and 56.
