Description
Bibliography

Beaker mended from many fragments and restored. It was found in 1957 in cistern 33 on the Acropolis south slope.

It is flat-based with tall cylindrical body and vertical rim that curves slightly inwards. Grooves encircle the base and a band the rim whereas the body bears barbotine decoration. On the upper part of the body there is a stamp with the name “[.]OPHAΝES”. The beaker belongs to a category of thin walled pots most possibly used for storing cosmetics.
