Cup mended of many fragments and restored. It was found in 1959 at a cemetery located on the south slope of the Acropolis, deposited in Burial I-19 as a burial offering along with three more pots.

Its base is flat, the body hemispherical, the rim outturned and the handle vertical. The inside is covered in brown-black paint except for a band around the rim and its bottom that remain in clay colour. The outside is decorated with horizontal wide and narrow bands and a carelessly painted zig zag line.
