Description
Bibliography

Skyphos mended of many fragments. It was found in 1959 at a cemetery on the south slope of the Acropolis and comes from Burial XVIII-10 where it was deposited as a burial offering along with three more pots.

Its base is flat, the body convex in profile, the rim outturned and the handles horizontal. The skyphos is covered in brownish-black colour both on the inside and the outside except for the base, the inside of the handles and the rim which remain in clay colour. The rim is adorned with short vertical lines.
