Description
Bibliography

Mouldmade bowl mended from many fragments and restored. It was found in 1957 in cistern 33 on the south slope of the Acropolis.

Its body is hemispherical and the rim gently outturned. Black dull glaze covers both the pot’s interior and exterior. The medallion decoration which is surrounded by relief circles is not preserved. Rich floral motifs adorn the walls and a series of horizontal spirals and ovolo motifs, the band below the rim.
