Description
Bibliography

Quatrefoil aryballos decorated in the black-figure technique. It was found intact in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe.

The aryballos has a spherical body, low neck and flat rim with an overhang. The wide vertical handle served for the vessel’s handling and suspension. On the body, four large petals are arranged radially around an oblong centre with a vertical middle spine. The empty space between the petals is filled with crossed lines, while the rim is covered with thin bands.
