Description

Bell krater

fragementary. H. 0.45m. D. of rim c.0.35m.

of base c.0.18m. About one third preserved with whole body profile; many more non-joining pieces

not illustrated (in publication). Traces of horizontal handle attachment. Dull chocolate-brown glaze. A band inside the lip

interrupted by a thin reserved line immediately under the rim. Spattered glaze over remainder of the interior. For the concave lozenges in the central panel cf. Fortetsa pl.14 no.207 (MPG); but the shape is tall and slender

more like the EPG bell kraters of Fortetsa (ibid. 160-1). The scheme of circles flanking a central column of lozenges is borrowed from Attic PG: cf. PGP pl.11 no.2101 (39).
