Title:   Deep Bowl Fragment: Patterned
Category:   Pottery
Description:   Rim and side of a skyphos. Red on buff.
ADDENDA 2018: Six sherds mended into two non-joining sections of a medium deep bowl with flaring rim and low ring base. The exterior decoration may have included a narrow lip band, but this area is abraided on both sections. Five neatly drawn lines run below the handle and a single medium band covers the exterior of the ring base. The handle zone is panelled with side triglyphs filled with vertical zig-zags.
The interior has a double band at the rim and a series of concentric circles in the lower bowl (four/five preserved). There are two linear looking signs, but probably the result of a curious rodent during the leather hard stage. The piece has a good deal of use-wear marks visible. This includes the usual vertical marks on the exterior at the widest part of the body and at the rim indicating use as a scoop. Interestingly, this piece also exhibits extreme use-wear on the interior of the bowl. There are no traces of burning.
