392 MARIO IOZZO Building III.157 <strong>The</strong> base fragment was found in a meaningless context; however, the motif <strong>of</strong> the tongues edged with little pearls variously numbering from 20 to 40 can be d<strong>at</strong>ed 525-500 B.C.158 73. Base fragment Fig. 4, P1. 74 IPG 1970-7. H. 0.07, W. 0.153, Th. 0.03. Very impure, pink clay (5YR 8/4) <strong>at</strong> the core, with predominantly red inclusions; white clay (2.5Y 8/2) <strong>at</strong> the surface. Thick layer <strong>of</strong> very pure white slip (2.5Y 8/2) covering the outer surface. A small part <strong>of</strong> the original circumference is preserved; eroded surface with wide areas <strong>of</strong> chipping. Circular base with carin<strong>at</strong>ed pr<strong>of</strong>ile which widens slightly <strong>at</strong> the bottom; it is modeled with three ridges painted altern<strong>at</strong>ely brown and dark red. Above the ridges, a thin groove separ<strong>at</strong>es two fl<strong>at</strong> bands. On the upper band, there remains part <strong>of</strong> a painted decora- tion which is difficult to interpret: it is perhaps a floral decor<strong>at</strong>ion painted with the same colors used on the ridges. <strong>The</strong> three rounded ends visible on the right could be the lower part <strong>of</strong> an anthemion <strong>of</strong> two opposing palmettes, the lower one with three petals. <strong>The</strong>re is, however, no trace <strong>of</strong> the left tendril. Findspot: Isthmia, East Field.159 End <strong>of</strong> 6th century B.C. 74. Base fragment (?) P1. 74 C-39-281. H. 0.043, W. 0.033, est. D. ca. 0.35, Th. 0.02. Stamp: H. 0.025, W. 0.014. Weinberg, 1954, p. 128, note 123, pl. 30:m; Anderson, p. 91, no. 109. Impure, pink clay (5YR 7/4) with predom- inantly,red inclusions; fine, reddish yellow slip (7.5YR 7/6). A very small part <strong>of</strong> the original cir- cumference is preserved, and so it is not certain th<strong>at</strong> this fragment belongs to the class; chipped surface. Slightly worn m<strong>at</strong>rix. Circular base, decor<strong>at</strong>ed above with a row <strong>of</strong> concen- tric chevrons, vertex down, stamped and bordered top and bottom by a thin groove. Findspot: well west <strong>of</strong> the Museum (K: 23) which has yielded m<strong>at</strong>erial d<strong>at</strong>ing between the beginning <strong>of</strong> the 6th century and the third quarter <strong>of</strong> the 5th cen- tury B.C.160 Because <strong>of</strong> the stamped chevrons, the base fragment can be generally d<strong>at</strong>ed to the 6th cen- tury. Among the various examples <strong>of</strong> similar decora- tions used on bowls and stands,'16 those d<strong>at</strong>ed around the middle <strong>of</strong> the century are most like 74: they seem to have slimmer proportions, but they also show a less precise execution compared to earlier ex- amples which display a much ne<strong>at</strong>er design as well as triangles which are closed <strong>at</strong> the base, r<strong>at</strong>her than open chevrons.'62 Ca. 550 B.C. 157 Williams and Fisher, 1973, pp. 1-27. 158 Weinberg, 1954, pp. 128, 129, cf. pls. 28-30; Brann, p. 366, no. 67:a, pl. 57; see also 75, 82, 84-86. <strong>The</strong> motif <strong>of</strong> tongues bordered by little pearls origin<strong>at</strong>ed in embossed work, passing from the Cretan Orientalizing repertoire into Corinthian decor<strong>at</strong>ive schemes. Such a motif had a certain diffusion during the last decades <strong>of</strong> the 6th century B.C. in the Peloponnessos and particularly in the area <strong>of</strong> Corinth, but I know <strong>of</strong> few other comparisons for this tongue p<strong>at</strong>tern. For an analogous scheme <strong>of</strong> 20 or 21 circular impressions along the borders <strong>of</strong> a Cretan pithos fragment found on the P<strong>at</strong>ela <strong>of</strong> Prinias, see L. Savignoni, "Cretan Expedition XVIII. Fragments <strong>of</strong> Cretan Pithoi," AJA 5, 1901, p. 408, iv, pl. XIII:6. See also J. Schafer, Studien zu den griechischen Reliefspithoi des 8-6 Jahr. v. Christ aus Krete, Rhodes, Tenos, und Boiotien, Kallmunz 1957, p. 39, fig. 1:2. For its possible presence on a pithos fragment from Knossos, see J. Boardman, "Archaic Finds <strong>at</strong> Knossos," BSA 57, 1962 (pp. 28-34) p. 33, no. 3, pl. 5:c. <strong>The</strong> motif was certainly used until Hellenistic times: see J. K. Anderson, "Excav<strong>at</strong>ions on the K<strong>of</strong>ina Ridge, Chios," BSA 49, 1954, p. 157, no. 282, pl. 12:c. For a fragment from Naukr<strong>at</strong>is which is possibly Corinthian, see W. M. Flinders Petrie, Naukr<strong>at</strong>is I, iii, London 1886, tav. IV:5. 159 For the 1970 excav<strong>at</strong>ion campaigns conducted in the area between the the<strong>at</strong>er and the east front <strong>of</strong> the temple, see Clement (footnote 47 above), pp.105-108. 160 See footnotes 41, 95. 161 See footnote 236 below; cf. also the fragment <strong>of</strong> a votive koulouri from Perachora, Perachora II, pp. 328-329, no. 3347, pl. 130. 162 Weinberg, 1954, pp. 124-125, pl. 28:f; Perachora II, pp. 322, 329, nos. 3365, 3453, pls. 126, 130. <strong>The</strong> same motif with a less precise design and a looser structure reappears on a fragment <strong>of</strong> a Corinthian lekane (C- 1976-323, unpublished) with a modeled rim, from a quarry in the hill <strong>of</strong> the Temple <strong>of</strong> Apollo. 74 is cited for its resemblance to the clay <strong>of</strong> the tripod bowl from the Argive Heraion (S. Hersom, "A Fragment <strong>of</strong> an Archaic Vessel with Stamped Decor<strong>at</strong>ion," Hesperia 21, 1952 [pp. 275-278], p. 276, note 6).
