APC Image: AK 1005Top row, left to right:Fragment of krater, from the side with offset rim. On the top of the rim, sets of parallel lines. On the outside, a chain of diamonds with central dots. On the inside, a vertical panel of diamonds flanked by three vertical lines. This constitutes the border of the panel proper in which, together with hanging diamonds, a vertical row of angles and the filling ornament, are the tail and rump of an animal facing to the right. This fragment must come from a two-handled krater, a large bowl with twisted handles, with animals facing each other on a panel on the side. Late Geometric. Fragment of closed vase, from the side of an amphora or oinochoe. Zigzags and bands of checker-board pattern separated by horizontal lines. Ripe Geometric. The period after the Dipylon vases. Fragment of oinochoe, from the neck; the start of the side shows at the bottom. At the top, a row of dots. The meander is interrupted at the left by an influx of red glaze. Late Geometric. Fragment of large open bowl. Part of the slightly curved side. On the ground line stand two figures to right (the lower part of their legs remains). Between them, parallel rows of vertical zigzags. Late Geometric. Top and bottom sherds: Phaleron ware; top: a small piece of the convex side. Late Geometric filling ornament; bottom: part of the side. Three paws of an animal to right. Geometric. Middle row, left to right: Incised household ware. Fragment of large vase (pithos?). Part of the decorated band on the side. On either side of an impressed "rope" design is a line of incised circles. Geometric or seventh century. Fragment of cup, from the side with offset rim. On the rim are horizontal zigzags.; on the inside of the rim, vertical strokes. Late Geometric; transitional to Proto-Attic. Proto-Attic fragment of a cup, from the side, with thickening rim. On the rim, dots; on the side, dots between vertical and horizontal lines. Proto-Attic fragment of amphora, from the straight wall rim. Inscribed large letters on the rim. The lower vertical dots are cut away. Bottom row, left to right: Fragment of open bowl, from the convex side of a fairly small vase glazed on the interior. The scene represented is very uncertain and perhaps shows a feline facing to right with its left paw up. The clay and the glaze of the fragment are unmistakably Attic, but parallels may be found outside of Attica. Late seventh century B.C. The glaze is more like that of black-figured pottery. Fragment of oinochoe, it must come from a jug with narrow spout, convex side, and narrow mouth with concave rim. Very odd shape. Ca. 700 B.C. Fragment of Corinthian plastic vase. Feline; the left hind legs and paw of a lion or panther. The tail is wrapped around the paw. Dots on the body of the animal, lines of glaze along the toes and across the leg, chevrons on the tail.
