Description
Bibliography

Small sized Corinthian type skyphos, decorated in the black-figure technique. It was found in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe in fragments and was pieced together. The handles are missing.

On one side of the body, a Siren is depicted and on the other a panther and an owl. Scattered rosettes complete the decoration that is defined by red bands. The interior of the vase is covered with black glaze.
