Miniature pyre plate mended from many fragments. It was unearthed in 2000 during the Makrygiannis plot excavation in a foundation ritual pit beneath the floor of House Λ (foundation ritual ΝΜΑ 16).

It is flat-bottomed and bears the imprints of the string dragged under the vessel in order to remove it from the potter’s wheel. The body is shallow with walls slanting inwards and the rim slightly outturned. The surface retains fire traces.

Plates of this type were produced specifically for ritual purposes. They symbolically substituted real serving vessels or contained offerings, such as dried fruits and nuts.
