Description: | Mended, about two-thirds complete. Low shallow bowl, omphalos inside at center with corresponding depression on outside. Outside reserved, except for outside of lip, which is glazed, concave and slightly out-turned. Decoration: within, on black background, the omphalos is decorated with five concentric circles in buff clay, now missing. Area around omphalos and the inside of the lip are decorated with thick radiating lines or debased tongues, also in added clay. In bottom of bowl between omphalos and lip, with the ground line toward the lip, six spotted cows walk around the bowl, three done in yellowish-buff clay with red spots and three in brick-red clay with buff spots. One red cow and two halves of light cows missing. Colors of cows alternate. Added clays fairly well preserved on bodies, fainter at legs and tails. No incision. Ghost images of painted letters around cows; letters indistinct blobs, making up nonsense inscriptions. Cf. Agora XXIII, nos. 1427-1439, ca. 500 B.C. | |
