| Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Object | | Name: | | Z 530 | | Title: | | COARSE KRATER | | Category: | | Miscellaneous | | Category Code: | | Z | | Object Number: | | 530 | | Description: | | Krater. Shape is similar to the cooking pots (see Z126-127) but much larger. The chief differences are in the rim, which, in keeping with the dimensions of the pot, is thick and heavy, flat on top, with a broad flange on the outside, and in the handles, of which there are four- stout round loops set horizontally and fairly regularly spaced, high up on the body of the vessel, not far below the rim. The handles are invariably pierced, each with two small holes, perhaps where the biscuit was very thick, to facilitate thorough baking. | | Decoration: | | None | | Material: | | Yellowish buff clay | | Condition: | | Complete or intact. nearly complete | | Period: | | Late Helladic III | | Findspot Description: | | Potter's Shop, Zygouries | | Bibliography: | | Zygouries page 161-162; fig 157, page 162 | | Site: | | Corinth | | City: | | Ancient Corinth | | Country: | | Greece | | References: | | Publication: Blegen, Zygouries: a prehistoric settlement ... 1928
