- Description
Fragment of rim of nicked cup. Buff micaceous clay. Black and brown decoration on buff. Exterior rim is painted with a black band; below is a metopal arrangement with alternating vertical wavy lines and vertical straight lines in brown. Interior painted solid. Polished on exterior.
Probably an import. It is a proper kotyle with straight upper body, so dated post-750 BC
The same context as Black on Red stand HoB 179.
Analyzed by Kealhofer and Grave (Kealhofer, Grave, and Marsh 2013): their macrogroup A, subgroup 1.3.
