- Description
Late in TR or early in EC. A small fragment from the rim. Exterior: two horizontal lines near the rim. Nine vertical lines remain in the handle zone and three horizontal lines on the upper body. Interior glazed. Glaze: exterior, badly worn; interior, dark brown. Clay: smooth and hard. Munsell no. 10 YR 7/3 (very pale brown).
One of two Corinthian skyphos fragments found at Sardis (see Cor 71). The badly worn glaze and small size suggest that the fragment was not found in its proper context (supra, "Stratigraphy," 5 and n. 16).
