Description
Bibliography

Black-glazed Attic type skyphos mended from many fragments and restored. It was found in 1959 on the south slope of the Acropolis.

It is ring-based, the body deep with almost vertical walls. Two bell-handles are attached just below the mouth. The vessel is covered in black lustrous glazing except for the foot’s underside which remains in clay-colour and is adorned with black concentric circles and a dot in their centre.
