Description
Bibliography

Black-glazed kantharos, mended from many fragments and restored. It was found in 1959 on the south slope of the Acropolis.

It stands on a pedestal foot and the walls, which are steep below, curve and join the slightly concave upper wall. The handles are vertical and have thumb-rests on their upper surface. The vessel is covered in black paint except for the scrapped groove on the foot. It was most possibly used during some foundation ritual.
