Description:   Class D (Unpainted Ware) according to Blegen (Zygouries). Deep basin on a fairly small raised base with sides rising in an almost straight line to a thickened rim, which has been somewhat flattened on top. There are no handles, but in their stead appear two long horizontal lugs each with a projection near its ends. They seem not specially useful for anything but ornamental purposes, and even as such their value is not great.
