Description
Bibliography

Miniature loutrophoros-hydria with painted decoration. It was found in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe in fragments and was reassembled.

The rim and shoulder of the vase are decorated with carelessly drawn vertical brownish-black brushstrokes. A wide horizontal band encircles the body just under the handles. The uneven colouring is due to the vessel’s firing conditions in the ceramic kiln.
