Bibliography

Cup mended of many fragments and restored. It was found in 1959 at a cemetery on the south slope of the Acropolis and comes from Burial XVII-14 where it was deposited as a burial offering at the side of the burial-jar along with three more pots.

Its base is flat, the body deep and the handle vertical. The inside is covered with brownish- black paint, except for a zone with horizontal lines on the upper part. On the outside, the body and handle are decorated with wavy and vertical lines as well as horizontal bands.
