| Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Object | | Name: | | Z 112 | | Title: | | CHALICE | | Category: | | Miscellaneous | | Category Code: | | Z | | Object Number: | | 112 | | Description: | | Miscellaneous Other Ware (Type F) according to Blegen (Zygouries). Lower part of a goblet or chalice standing on a high stem with broad, bell-shaped foot. Possibly a type of brazier or incense burner. It is not especially like any other fabric of the period from Zygouries, but has secure context. The stem shows traces of the paring by which it was whittled down to its final form. | | Decoration: | | Smooth surface, probably slipped but now worn away. The most remarkable peculiarity of the vessel is that the bowl (the upper part of which is unfortunately missing) bears at least two horizontal rows of small crosses which are slit quite through the walls. In the lower belt were ten such crosses, fairly evenly spaced; in the next the number was increased to eleven or twelve. The crosses measure on the average 0.02 by 0.02, having their arms approximately equal. Since they penetrate through to the interior, the chalice could certainly not have been intended to hold liquids. | | Material: | | Pink clay, gray at core, blackened by burning | | Condition: | | Fragment. Lower portion of vessel, rim completely missing, RIP. | | Dimensions Actual: | | Max D: 0.13; D of base: 0.092 | | Dimensions Preserved: | | H as preserved: 0.115 | | Period: | | Early Helladic | | Area: | | Zygouries | | Findspot Description: | | Zygouries | | Bibliography: | | Zygouries Page 124-125; Fig 117, page 125 | | Site: | | Corinth | | City: | | Ancient Corinth | | Country: | | Greece | | References: | | Publication: Blegen, Zygouries: a prehistoric settlement ... 1928
