Bibliography

Small stirrup jar mended of many fragments and restored. It was found in 1937-1938 during the excavation of the “Mycenaean Fountain” on the north slope of the Acropolis.

Its base is flat and the stem short. The lowest part of the body is conical, whereas its upper part rounded. The vertical handles are attached to the false neck and the spout to the pot’s shoulder. The surface is decorated with parallel bands rendered in brown-black colour.
