Description
Bibliography

Inscribed vertical handle of a loutrophoros. It was found in 1955 and 1957 in the Sanctuary of the Nymphe in fragments and was pieced together.

Glossy black paint covers the handle. The etched dedicatory inscription reads ΕΡΑ ⋮ ΝΥΜΦΟΝ, stating that the vase was a sacred object and belonged to the Nymph.
