Description:   Small terracotta table; stands on four legs and is approximately rectangular, but with somewhat bulging sides. The top is not level, but forms a shallow concavity surrounded by a slightly raised rim. The "table" may perhaps be intended to represent a bier used to convey the dead to the tomb. (Blegen, Zygouries, pg 206)
Decoration:   Except for a smear of paint down each leg, decoration is confined to the upper surface; it consists of four transverse rows of dashes and dots at one end, while the rest of the spaceis filled by eight broad wavy lines running longitudinally. There is also a band of paint along the rim. Blegen, Zygouries, pg 206-207
