| Title: | KRATER | |
| Category Code: | C | |
| Year: | 1947 | |
| Object Number: | 256 | |
| Description: | Krater with slightly spreading ring foot. Wall profile expands broadly from foot and at top two horizontal, strongly reflex handles. Above level of roots of handles a reverse curve provides the transition from body to broadly flaring lip. Nearly vertical outer profile of the lip has a single wheel groove. Within, a broad and shallow, slanting wheel groove may have served as the flange for a lid. The clay is comparatively thick for cooking fabric, no doubt because of the considerable breadth above, and very strong. The execution of form is adequate but cursory, with many wheel marks. See Corinth 7.3, pp. 134, for a discussion of the date. | |
