Name

Skyphos

Description

Skyphos rim. PH. 0.04m. D. of rim c. 0.16m. Fine orange clay

a little silver mica. Black glaze

flaking; thinned to light brown for the zigzag. Traces of concentric circles below the zigzag. Inside glazed

apart from very thin reserved line under rim. Attic. From Desboroughs analysis (PGP 80-2 on Type I) it appears that skyphoi with this decoration were introduced early

but continued to be made throughout Attic PG. Cf. ibid. pl. 10 no. 547 (15). Several other imports of Attic PG skyphoi are known from Crete

and all seem to be late: Fortetsa

pl. 7 no. 58; pl. 12 no. 187; Kani Kastelli

unpublished (see PGP 325). To judge from the photograph

Gortina 120 fig. 205.1 may be from an Attic PG skyphos or small krater.
