Title: | Kalathos Fragment: Linear | |
Category: | Pottery | |
Description: | Rim fragment from ball shaped bowl with flat rim projecting in ward and flat base. Brownish black paint with red streaks on pinkish buff. ADDENDA 2018: Five fragments mended into three non-joining sections of a large-sized kalathos with rounded rim. One fragment preserves part of a horizontal handle attachment. The decoration is linear on the exterior and interior. The exterior has a narrow lip-band and two narrow bands running below the handle. The interior features a solid band covering the upper surface of the rim and continuing into the interior of the bowl with a second medium band running below it. The handle preserves at least one splash and was probably tri-splashed. The paint is fairly evenly applied, although there is some streakiness. The firing is somewhat uneven ranging from red to dark brown. There are no trace of use-wear or burning. Furumark Shape: 291 ADDENDA 2021 (AE): One fragment (now AP 2781b), mended from three pieces, and one non-joining rim fragment (now AP 2781c) added in 2018 from lot 483. | |
