Title: | Eaves Tile Fragment | |
Category: | Architecture Terracotta | |
Description: | A Tholos eaves tile, fragmentary but complete save for the tip, which has been restored on the evidence of A 864 (Ζ 1540). A triangular rain tile, its sides equipped with heavy flanges below, with light flanges above. The under flanges are channeled toward the lower edge of the tile so as to grip a projection on the cornice. On the face, a double braid-pattern in black and purple; on the top, along the outer edge, a purple band; on the soffit, a bead and reel reserved against a black ground and bordered on either side by a purple band. Buff clay tempered with crushed tile and lightly surfaced with yellow clay. From the same series as A 862 (Ζ1538), A 863 (Ζ 1539) and A 864 (Ζ1540). These eaves tiles are apparently from the original roofing of the Tholos. Several of the fragments show traces of burning. Like A 856 (Ζ 1532) ff., in contexts of the late fifth century, and would seem to have been discarded after the building was damaged by fire at that time. | |
