- Description
- Rim fragment painted on both sides. Black and red on white slip ground. Exterior: A red band with black bands at top and bottom and vertical strokes between. (Note: Cf. Greenewalt 1973, p. 98, no. 13 and 7). Then two more black bands, spaced farther apart, with squares and rectangles within a metopal pattern; a further black band below that. Interior has radiating lines, alternating black and red in groups of four strokes. Some of these strokes continue over the edge onto the exterior. Then a pattern as on the exterior, and below that a black line, from which hang squares with alternating black and red chevrons, and a red hatched area with black squares around it. This Ephesianizing fragment probably dates to the seventh century, and must be intrusive, or found at the highest of these levels.
