Description
Bibliography

Small cup mended from many fragments and restored. It was found in 1959 on the south slope of the Acropolis.

Its base is flat, the body short with walls that curve inwards and one vertical, pierced handle. The cup was most possibly used for the consumption of some strong distilled alcoholic drink similar to modern Greek “tsipouro”.
