| Object Number: | 350 | |
| Description: | Tall jug standing on a flat base with slightly raised profile; it has a broad, well-formed oval body, curving inward to a slender neck, which rises straight upward about one half the height (0.09) of the body itself (0.18). The neck widens at the top to form a thin flat rim; below the latter is attached a flat ridged handle, which swings in a good curve down to the upper part of the body of the vase. Around the base of the neck is a raised ring; this, the ridged handle, and the flat rim are certainly reminiscences of technique in metal. (Blegen Zygouries 167-169). | |
| Decoration: | The pot is divided into the usual zones by broad bands of good black glaze applied with great regularity. In the upper zone is a simple linear decoration formed by three parallel wavy lines, with spirals effectively used to fill the open spaces. Where the paint is thin, the color lightens to brown, as in the two tails beneath the handle; and at one point it is a bright red mottled patch. (Blegen, Zygouries pg 169) | |
