Title:   Amphora
Category:   Pottery
Description:   Missing from base of neck upwards, and handles and a good part of one side. Much battered before it was buried. A hole in the bottom apparently deliberately cut.
At the base of the neck, diminishing chevrons; below, on the shoulder, set off by a broad and two narrow bands, a zone of hand-drawn semicircles with sizable solid centers, edged by dots. On the body, a zone of circles, double, in which is inscribed a Mycenaean shield motif, solid, the side spaces filled by semicircles like those above. One circle, next to the break on the more damaged side, is smaller than the others, and enclosed a cross instead of the usual shield. Below this zone, another broad band, set off by two narrow bands below, and two above. Above the foot, two more bands.
Pink clay with grits; creamy slip; much peeled black glaze.
Context:   Grave 25.
