Tanım

Small fragment of convex wall, possibly from an alabastron. Scale pattern in black-polychrome technique covers the entire fragment. Portions of five registers remain. The scales increase in size and complexity from the top to the bottom: three rows of scales with narrow borders followed by two rows with wide borders. The larger scales with wide borders have a single incision marking the inner edge and a set of parallel incisions for the outer edge. The narrow borders are created by two very fine, parallel incisions. Added color as follows: first register, red; second register, black glaze with traces of yellow (?); third register, red; fourth register, black glaze in the center with a border of white dots; fifth register, red in the center with a border of black glaze and white dots. Compass points. The incision and painting are beautifully executed. Glaze: glossy black. Clay: fine, smooth, and slightly powdery. Yellow-buff. Munsell no. 10 YR 8/4 (very pale brown).

An elaborate scale pattern of this type is unusual. A similar treatment can be found on a small group of olpai attached to the workshop of the MacMillan Painter (Albizzati, no. 80, pl. 6).
