| Description: | Class C I (Patterened ware, dark on light, free/open style) according to Blegen; Fragment of a small pyxis. The body in its lower part seems to have been very squat, spreading out to a sharp angle; then it rises in a more rounded curve to a narrow mouth with an upright rim over which a lid no doubt fitted. At the angle were two long horizontal lugs set opposite each other, pierced vertically near each end. (Blegen, Zygouries, pg 105) | |
| Decoration: | The surface, to some extent prepared, but hardly slipped, is decorated with irregular lines fairly close together running from rim to base; There was probably a horizontal line follwing the angle of the body and possibly another around the edge of the rim. Short vertical dashes decorate the rim on the inside. The medium was originally brownish black glaze which has crackled and almost totally vanished. | |
