Description: | Stirrup vase has a very low, compressed shape, with comparatively slender spout and handle. (Blegen 1926, 167) | |
Decoration: | Decoration is carried out in excellent red glaze, which has turned black on one side in the firing. The surely drawn broad bands enclosing fine lines do not seem far removed from the style represented at Tell el Amarna. The upper ring is ornamented with five small circles in broad outline, in four cases paralleled by a ring of dots withing and without. The fifth circle has an exterior ring of dots, but encloses a single central dot. On the disk of the handle are four concentric circles surrounding a large dot. (Blegen 1926, 167) | |
