Bibliography

Alabastron decorated in the black-figure technique. It was found intact in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe.

The vessel has an ovoid body, short neck, thick, disk-shaped rim and a vestigial handle with a suspension hole. It is decorated with linear motifs such as tongues, lines and dots, all organized in zones, while the colours used are today mostly faded.
