Very impure, reddish yellow clay (7.5YR 7/6)<br />

with predominantly red inclusions; thick layer <strong>of</strong><br />

very pure, pink slip (7.5YR 8/4). A small part <strong>of</strong><br />

the original circumference is preserved; outer surface<br />

in good condition except for some chipping.<br />

<strong>The</strong> limited dimensions <strong>of</strong> the fragment do not per-<br />

mit us to establish exactly to wh<strong>at</strong> it belonged. <strong>The</strong><br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ile modeled with a red-painted fillet suggests the<br />

point <strong>of</strong> juncture between a stand and a bowl or a<br />

stand and a base.<br />

Findspot: Isthmia, area east <strong>of</strong> the temenos <strong>of</strong> Po-<br />

seidon (East Field: Trench 1970 4).228 112 was<br />

found in a context <strong>of</strong> the Roman period (Basket 9),<br />

with m<strong>at</strong>erials d<strong>at</strong>ed from 500 B.C. and l<strong>at</strong>er.<br />

Beginning <strong>of</strong> the 5th century B.C.<br />

Slightly impure, pink clay (7.5YR 8/4) with<br />

predominantly gray inclusions; thin slip <strong>of</strong> the<br />

same pink color. A small part <strong>of</strong> the original cir-<br />

cumference is preserved; eroded surface with<br />

areas <strong>of</strong> chipping. Worn m<strong>at</strong>rix.<br />

Hollow, cylindrical stand with a thickened section<br />

above, modeled with four ridges; straight upper<br />

stand support with rounded edges. On the stand are<br />

anthemia <strong>of</strong> palmettes with perhaps five petals, fan-<br />

ning around a triangular heart and supported by two<br />

bar-linked tendrils; under the anthemia and between<br />

the splaying ends <strong>of</strong> the tendrils is a wide, pointed<br />

element similar to, and symmetrically opposing, the<br />

palmette's heart. <strong>The</strong> edges <strong>of</strong> the petals and tendrils<br />

are in relief.<br />

Findspot: Potters' Quarter (Trench F), found in<br />

an insignificant context. <strong>The</strong> fragments can be d<strong>at</strong>ed<br />

575-550 B.C. on the basis <strong>of</strong> a typological analysis <strong>of</strong><br />

the decor<strong>at</strong>ion.229<br />

Impure, pink clay (5YR 8/4) with predominantly<br />

gray inclusions; fine, reddish yellow slip<br />

(7.5YR 7/6). About one fourth <strong>of</strong> the original circumference<br />

is preserved in three fragments, two <strong>of</strong><br />

which join; slightly eroded surface with areas <strong>of</strong><br />

chipping.<br />

Hollow, cylindrical stand, with flutes bordered<br />

above by a group <strong>of</strong> three ridges; the central, thicker<br />

ridge is painted dark red, and the side ridges are<br />

painted a diluted brown. Above the ridges is the beginning<br />

<strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> spiral flutes. <strong>The</strong>se perhaps are<br />

from the same object as 115.<br />

Findspot: Isthmia, from the area east <strong>of</strong> the temenos<br />

<strong>of</strong> Poseidon (East Field: Trench 70-2),23o in no<br />

d<strong>at</strong>able context (Basket 46 and Box 37, respectively).<br />

original circumference is preserved; eroded sur-<br />

face with areas <strong>of</strong> chipping.<br />

Hollow, cylindrical stand with flutes interrupted by<br />

a group <strong>of</strong> three horizontal ridges; the two outer,<br />

thinner ridges are painted a diluted brown, and the<br />

central ridge is covered with a band <strong>of</strong> dark red. A<br />

rosy color covers the flutes.<br />

Findspot: Isthmia, area east <strong>of</strong> the temenos <strong>of</strong> Po-<br />

seidon (East Field: Trench 70-2)231 in an insignifi-<br />

cant context (Box 37). Although it was found togeth-<br />

er with 114, some differences make it unlikely th<strong>at</strong><br />

the three are parts <strong>of</strong> the same object: <strong>at</strong> the most,<br />

they may belong to different parts <strong>of</strong> the same stand.<br />
