Description
Bibliography

Lekythos for serving oil. It was found in 1959 on the south slope of the Acropolis, it is mended from fragments and restored.

The globular body rests on a ring-shaped foot and the narrow neck widens into a funnel-shaped mouth. The handle adjusts to the shoulder and rim. Traces of brown-red paint as well as part of the band decoration that ran around the body rendered in brown are still retained.
