Bibliography

Plate decorated in the black-figure technique. It was found in fragments in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe, was pieced together and restored.

On the plate’s floor a cock and a lizard are depicted. Over the cock there is a lotus flower. The decoration is completed by a wreath with two rows of leaves adorning the rim, while the two holes there were used for the suspension of the vessel.
