Description
Bibliography

Intact miniature basket-shaped jar. It was found in 1957 in the west Roman cistern on the south slope of the Acropolis. It is flat-based with ovoid body, tubular neck, slightly outturned rim and a single arched handle. Around the body run horizontal grooves.

Its small size suggests that it was a children’s toy.
