| Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Object | | Name: | | Z 122 | | Title: | | PITHOS RIM EARLY HELLADIC | | Category: | | Miscellaneous | | Category Code: | | Z | | Object Number: | | 122 | | Description: | | Coarse ware (class D) according to Blegen (Zygouries). Small piece of a huge flat rim. The body of the vessel seems to have swelled out broadly, and it was evidently a container of great capacity. Near the rim is preserved a small horizontal loop handle, not strong enough to have been of material help in lifting the pithos. There must have been other handles lower down on the body- perhaps an early example of the type common in later periods in which several tiers of small handles are arranged in vertical rows. | | Decoration: | | From the handle run two raised rope bands in either direction, slanting slightly upward toward the rim. Coated in black glaze which is worn. | | Material: | | Brick colored clay, burnt | | Condition: | | Fragment. Fragment: rim, shoulder and handle only | | Dimensions Actual: | | Rim W: 0.075 | | Dimensions Restored: | | D: ca. 0.63 | | Period: | | Early Helladic | | Area: | | Zygouries | | Findspot Description: | | Zygouries | | Bibliography: | | Zygouries Page 120-121; fig 113, page 121 | | Site: | | Corinth | | City: | | Ancient Corinth | | Country: | | Greece | | References: | | Publication: Blegen, Zygouries: a prehistoric settlement ... 1928
