| Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Object | | Name: | | Z 305 | | Title: | | MIDDLE HELLADIC SMALL PITCHER | | Category: | | Miscellaneous | | Category Code: | | Z | | Object Number: | | 305 | | Description: | | Small jug (Class II- Matt-painted ware) similar to Z304 in shape: raised basebroad neck and wide mouth and the usual curved strap handle. | | Decoration: | | Matt-painted. Surface originally coated with slip and smoothly polished but is now much worn. The decoration was effected with lustreless purplish paint in fine lines, which are now very indistinct and difficult to make out. There is a single narrow band along the rim; at the base of the neck are three bands, the lowest of which carries a fringe of festoons. Below this, around the upper part of the body, is a simple linear decoration consisting of four units, not symmetrically spaced, each composed of a pair of connected spirals. Apparently the lower limit of the zone was not marked by a band; and there is no further ornament save a number of oblique cross lines on the handle. The delicate fine style in which this pot is finished makes it stound out among Mattpainted vases. | | Material: | | Fine pinkish buff clay | | Condition: | | Complete or intact.
