Bibliography

Inscribed vertical handle of a loutrophoros. It was found in 1957 in the Sanctuary of the Nymphe in two fragments and was pieced together.

Glossy black paint covers the handle. The etched dedicatory inscription reads HΙΕΡΑ ΕΙΜΙ, stating that the vessel was sacred and in the possession of the Nymph.
