Description
Bibliography

Lopas mended from many fragments and restored. It was found in 1960 on the south slope of the Acropolis.

It is round-bottomed with shallow body. The rim forms a sharp angle with the shoulder and has a flange on the inside for a lid. The horizontal handles are set on the shoulder and tilted up above rim. The fire traces on the exterior are almost black due to the vessel’s direct contact with flames.
