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 and flat rim with an overhang. The vertical handle served for the vessel’s handling and suspension with a cord or thin rope. On the body, four large petals are arranged radially around an oblong centre with a jagged, vertical, middle line. The gaps between the petals are filled with a net pattern, while the rim is covered with thin bands.
