| Description: | Class D (Unpainted) according to Blegen (Zygouries); deep jar. Well-made oval pot with a very small base formed by flattening the bottom; the center is hollowed out underneath and the vessel thus rests on a narrow rin. On each side, fairly high up on the body, is a broad flat loop handle of the usual vertical type, but here set horizontally. The neck splays outward in a bell-shaped form to a good rim.
