Bibliography

Skyphos mended of many fragments. It was found in 1959 on the south slope of the Acropolis and comes from Burial XVIII-10 where it was deposited as a burial offering along with three more pots.

Its base is flat, the body convex in profile, the rim outturned and the handles horizontal. On the outside, each side is decorated with a circle between wavy lines with a cross in its centre. The rim and body are adorned with horizontal bands and on the handles and lowest part of the body black paint is applied.
