Body fragment of an imported Greek Geometric krater. Light brown fabric. Bands of decoration divided by horizontal lines: diagonally hatched meanders, double zigzag, hatched meanders. Interior, horizontal streaking.
M. Kerschner identified this as being Late Geometric, from North Ionia, not South Ionia (personal communication, Sardis, July 1–2, 2016). Similar examples at Samos and a piece at Bayraklı of the same color.
