| Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Object | | Name: | | Z 250 | | Title: | | EH III PEDESTAL-FOOTED CUP WITH INCISED AND IMPRESSED DECORATION | | Category: | | Miscellaneous | | Category Code: | | Z | | Object Number: | | 250 | | Description: | | Small well-made cup on a low stem with a fairly broad foot. The foot is hollowed out below and is pierced by three regularly spaced round holes, giving an open-work effect. The cup itself has a rounded boy with a splaying rim which makes the mouth relatively large. There is one sturdy broad flat loop handle, which rises well above the rim. | | Decoration: | | Surface slipped with brownish color on one side, burnt black on the other. Polished. Decoration consists of a broad zone about the middle of the body, marked off by three, far from parallel incised lines above and a single line below. The zone is filled with cross-hatching produced by irregular oblique incised lines and the ground of the uneven diamonds and half diamonds thus formed is punctuated by small dots impressed with a sharp-pointed instrument. A zone of similar decoration runs around the foot, dividing roughly into three panels by the holes mentioned above. Here the pattern is not cross hatching but merely a series of unequal upright strips, separated by incised lines and filled with punched dots. No trace remains to show whether or not the incisions were once filled with white. | | Material: | | Buff clay with mica, burnt | | Condition: | | Complete or intact.
