| Object Number: | 328 | |
| Description: | A small askos of a shape familiar in Mycenaean pottery. Long and narrow with slightly flattened base, it has a closed top or back, surmounted by a longitudinal basket handle; one end opens in a small mouth or spout, the other terminates almost in a point. (Blegen, Zygouries, 172) | |
| Decoration: | The decoration on each side of the vessel consists of a series of curving wavy lines springing from below, which may be a highly conventionalized rendering of a naturalistic grass pattern on early Mycenaean ware. The paint is thin, brownish in color, and is in a poor state of preservation. (Blegen Zygouries, 172) | |
