grains (5YR 6/3). From the partially missing lip
to stand attachment, about one third of the origi-
nal circumference is preserved; eroded and
chipped surface.
Overhanging rim, articulated with pendulous, in-
ward slanting lip; slightly convex, outward slanting
top. The side of the lip is modeled with one group of
three and one of two ridges of varying height, sepa-
rated by a central space and covered with bands al-
ternately brown and dark red. Sparse traces of
brown remain on the outer edge of the rim, on the
first and last ridges, and in the central space; some
red remains on the third ridge. A wide brown band is
painted on the outer surface of the bowl, at the point
of attachment to the stand.
Findspot unknown.
5th or 4th century B.C.

Rather compact, reddish yellow clay (7.5YR
7/6) with very few gray inclusions; fine slip of the
same color. On the side of the lip is a thin wash of
very fine, very pale brown clay (1OYR 7/4-8/4).
A small part of the original circumference is preserved;
cracked surface.
Overhanging rim, articulated with pendulous,
slightly inward slanting lip; slightly convex top. The
side of the lip is modeled with two groups of three
ridges, separated by a central space; in this space and
over the innermost ridges a ribbon-lug handle is ap-
plied. Wide bands, alternately brown and dark red,
cover the ridges and handle articulations. The cen-
tral ridges in each group are unpainted; the upper-
most brown band reaches the outer edge of the rim
top, and the lowermost red band partially covers the
underside of the lip. The ridges are rather precisely
painted, but there are paint dribblings on the handle.
There are red traces on the impression around the
handle.

Compact, reddish yellow clay (5YR 6/8) with
predominantly red inclusions and minuscule gray
grains; a thin layer of slip, which is compact, brilliant,
and reddish yellow (5YR 6/8), covers the
visible surfaces: the inner surface of the bowl, the
rim, and the side of the lip. A small part of the
original circumference is preserved in three joining
fragments; surface with slight abrasions and
chipping.
Overhanging rim, articulated with pendulous, inward
slanting lip; convex top. The side of the lip is
modeled with two groups of three ridges of varying
height, separated by a central space. Wide, irregularly
painted bands, alternately brown and dark red,
cover the first and third ridges in each group, leaving
the central ridges unpainted. The uppermost brown
band reaches the outer edge of the rim top; the lowermost
red band covers the underside of the lip.
Findspot: well west of the Museum (K:23)9s which
contained material dated between the beginning of
the 6th century and the third quarter of the 5th cen-
tury.96

Porous and slightly impure, yellowish brown
clay (1OYR 5/3) with gray inclusions; thick, yel-
low slip (1OYR 7/6). About one third of the orig-
inal circumference is preserved in eight frag-
ments, four of which are joining; chipped surface.
