Description
Bibliography

Skyphos with two handles, found intact in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe.

It is flat based, with a deep hemispherical body and slightly outturned rim. The vessel is covered with diluted reddish paint except from a horizontal band between the handles and a second one on the lower body that have been left in the colour of the clay. The uneven red colouring is a result of the firing conditions in the ceramic kiln.
