Stand fragment.
From upper part of a low, sharply flaring fluted stand; a half-oval in each flute and a broad taenia above them; above the taenia, bead and reel. Hard purplish red clay with little temper; traces of light buff surfacing.
Earlier fluted stands are uncommon in the Agora; a battered fragment, P 15701 H 19:1, of the late 5th century, preserves a little of an unusually heavy stand which had twenty-one flutes.
