Description
Bibliography

Miniature loutrophoros-hydria found almost intact in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe.

The shoulder of the vessel is decorated with teardrop shapes and wavy lines rendered in red colour, while horizontal bands of the same colour adorn the body and the handle of the vase. The rest of the exterior surface is covered with red paint that has turned black in some areas, due to the firing conditions in the ceramic kiln.
