Description: | Coarse ware (class D) according to Blegen (Zygouries). Small piece of a huge flat rim. The body of the vessel seems to have swelled out broadly, and it was evidently a container of great capacity. Near the rim is preserved a small horizontal loop handle, not strong enough to have been of material help in lifting the pithos. There must have been other handles lower down on the body- perhaps an early example of the type common in later periods in which several tiers of small handles are arranged in vertical rows. | |
Decoration: | From the handle run two raised rope bands in either direction, slanting slightly upward toward the rim. Coated in black glaze which is worn. | |
Material: | Brick colored clay, burnt | |
Condition: | Fragment. Fragment: rim, shoulder and handle only | |
