Description
Bibliography

Intact jug. It was found in 1963 in well Ε on the south slope of the Acropolis, in the area where the Stoa of Eumenes was later built.

Its base is flat, the body ovoid, the neck wide and cylindrical and the handle vertical. The outer surface, worn out today, has been burnished and retains traces of a thin slip.
