| Title: | BRONZE TREFOIL-LIP INSCRIBED JUG | |
| Category Code: | MF | |
| Object Number: | 10915 | |
| Description: | Bronze jug with almost horizontal shoulder, trefoil lip; handle from lip to below shoulder. Top of handle widened into form resembling serpent's head. Note from Lucy Talcott: For a close parallel of shape in clay see Hesperia XXII, 1953, pl. 31, no. 203. This is slightly larger than our bronze jug. The clay jug has been measured by Mabel Lang and found to hold, to just below the lip, 670cc of water or 15 kyathoi (2-1/2 kotylai). Our bronze, therefore, might have held 14 kyathoi as implied by the handle inscription. The clay jug is of the 5th century and the bronze should be of similar date; it must, therefore, be accounted an heirloom in the well filling. The shape continues, however, with some modifications of the proportion into the early 4th century (ARV, pp. 888ff "Fat Boy Group"; CVA, Oxford, pl. 42.5). Corinth Drawing 263: Bronze Oinochoe And Inscription. Condition: Fall of 1965 and January 1966 by D. Hadzilazarou: surface and inscription cleaned with vibrotool and glass brush.

Gap at base of handle filled with A.W.K. dough. Coated inside with five coats of five percent maranyl nylon and outside with one. 1978: put in Bezotriazole and Methynol. | |
