Description
Bibliography

Almost intact miniature vessel, probably skyphos. The vessel has a low, narrow foot, deep curved body and two small horizontal handles. The vase was affixed on something as a small bronze nail preserved at the centre of the floor indicates. The vessel’s rim is plain and vertical, and creates a small ridge for the lid that hasn’t survived.
