Description
Bibliography

Lidded pyxis mended from many fragments. It was found in 1959 on the south slope of the Acropolis as a burial offering.

It is flat-bottomed, the walls are concave in profile and two horizontal handles attach to the rim. Black and brown horizontal and vertical bands adorn the surface. The lid is almost flat with a conical knob and decorated with rays and thin bands.
