402 MARIO IOZZO
Weinberg, 1954, p. 129, note 131, pl. 30:h; An-
derson, p. 90, no. 99.
Very compact, pale yellow clay (2.5Y 8/4) at
the core with a very few gray inclusions; white
clay (2.5Y 8/2) at the surface. There is no slip,
but the surface is highly polished; slightly eroded
surface. Fresh matrixes.
Hollow, cylindrical stand with two bands separated
by thin grooves and decorated with wavy, herring-
bone hatching made with a four-pointed punch. Be-
low, a row of tongues with a double border is spaced
at uneven intervals.
Findspot: "Tile Works".206 Weinberg dates this
fragment to the 5th century B.C., hypothesizing its
manufacture at the Tile Works itself. A typological
examination of the decoration suggests a date during
the 5th century, perhaps toward the end; the flat
bands decorated with wavy hatching are rather com-
mon in the plastic production of Archaic Corinth.
Likewise, the short, wide, and completely flattened
tongues with widening borders seem to have lost
the exactness of Archaic and early 5th-century
examples.207
Ca. 450 B.C.

Impure, reddish yellow clay (7.5YR 7/6) with
predominantly red inclusions; fine slip of the same
reddish yellow color with a layer of light reddish
brown grains (5YR 6/3) on the interior at the bot-
tom of the bowl. About one third of the basin and
a small part of the stand are preserved in six join-
ing fragments; the outer part of the rim is missing.
Eroded surface.
Hollow, cylindrical stand, modeled with distinct
profile; the floor of the bowl gradually decreases in
thickness toward the periphery; the inner part of the
rim, perhaps the overhanging type, was very likely
thickened and flattened on top. At the top of the
stand and at its point of attachment to the bowl,
there is a wide brown band from which thin streaks
of the same color run down: they are placed vertical-
ly around the stand at uneven intervals.
Findspot: Forum Southwest, pottery deposit east
of Building 11,208 The basin was found in a context
datable between the beginning of the 4th century
and 325 B.C.

C-65-425. H. 0.119, W. 0.242. Stand: D. 0.168.
Bowl: Th. 0.035.
Porous, white clay (IOYR 8/2) with red inclu-
sions, terracotta particles, and other impurities;
fine, pink slip (7.5YR 8/4) with a layer of gray
grains and pink terracotta bits (7.5YR 7/4) on the
inside of the bowl at the bottom. A portion of the
stand with its entire upper diameter and junction
with the bowl are preserved; eroded surface with
wide areas of chipping.
Hollow, cylindrical stand in continuous profile with
the bowl above; at the juncture there is a wide brown
band, under which a thin groove of varying depth is
irregularly traced.
Findspot: Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore.209 The
fragment was not found in a datable context.
5th or 4th century B.C.

Bowl: Th. 0.035.
Slightly impure, very pale brown clay (1OYR
7/3) with predominantly gray inclusions; thin,
pink slip (7.5YR 8/4) on the outer surfaces and a
compact layer of light-brown grains (7.5YR 6/4)
on the inside at the bottom. A small part of the
original circumference with the beginning of the
stand is preserved; eroded surface.
Hollow, cylindrical stand in continuous profile with
the bowl above; the bowl gradually decreases in
thickness toward the periphery. At the juncture is a
wide band painted in a slightly diluted brown color.
Findspot: Well S (well 1915-6) of the Julian
Basilica.
5th or 4th century B.C.
