| Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Object | | Name: | | Z 410 | | Title: | | BRAZIER | | Category: | | Miscellaneous | | Category Code: | | Z | | Object Number: | | 410 | | Description: | | Brazier- in shape it resembles shallow basins, one side of which has been bent violently inward and upward, and at the same time provided with a heavy handle, which projects like a leg straight outward and downward behind. The purpose of the downward slope was here to give support so that the vessel might stand on its small flat base; but the execution was in all instances faulty, as a result of which the end of the handle and the base do not exactly agree in level. There are regularly two or three small holes along the handle and a large one- for suspension- near its end. The high turned-back side of the brazier at the base of the handle has a very practical purpose, as it protected the hand of the person holding the vessel from the heat of the burning charcoal within. | | Decoration: | | None | | Material: | | Brick-red clay, thin grayish slip | | Condition: | | Complete or intact.
