APC Image: AK 1019: Foot of the vase with impressed owls. Fragment of the foot of a black glazed kylix. Durig the making of the pot, the potter has stamped the impression of an owl many times around the reserved edge of the foot. The birds are upside down in relation to the vase. The fragment must have formed part of the foot of a kylix; the opening is too narrow to have served as the nack of a hydria. From the oval shape of the impression a gem seems a more likely die than a cion. Fifth century B.C.
