Description
Bibliography

Corinthian type skyphos mended from many fragments and restored. It was found in 2000 during the Makrygiannis plot excavation in a foundation ritual pit beneath the floor of House Λ (foundation ritual ΝΜΑ 16).

The pot is disk-footed with a reserved groove in the base circumference and its resting surface. The foot is low and the rim slants slightly inwards. Relief ivy leaves adorn the top of the vertical handles, and the neck, on both sides, bears West slope decoration of wheat stalks between branches and ribbons.
