Description
Bibliography

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

The aryballos has a spherical body, low neck, flat rim with an overhang and a small vertical handle. On the body a Siren is depicted. She has outstretched wings and turns her head to look behind. Next to her legs a rosette is rendered with incisions and two dots with paint. The rim and shoulder of the vessel are decorated with vertical tongue motifs and thin horizontal bands, while the rounded bottom is covered in horizontal lines.
