Description
Bibliography

Amphora mended from many fragments and restored. It was found in 1956 on the Acropolis south slope.

The ovoid body rests on a ring-shaped foot. The neck is cylindrical and the rim vertical in profile. The lowest part of the handles is ribbed as is the rim. Around the junction of body and neck runs a narrow plastic ring and around the body horizontal grooves. Reddish paint covers the foot and lowest part of the body whereas the rest of the pot preserves traces of yellowish slip.
