Two-handled Cup.
Foot missing; bottom and half of body restored.

Micaceous, pink fabric (7.5YR 7/4); dull glaze, red above, brown below and inside.
A fragment of a similar cup from fill II of the same deposit: P 19114. Apparently a late Hellenistic and early Roman shape. For general parallels for shape see [Kourouniotes] 1902, pl. Θ:25, from the Antikythera wreck, which had a largely eastern cargo and probably sank in the second quarter of the 1st century. Cf. also Bruneau 1970, no. 61.10, p. 478, figs. 110, 111, from a tomb of the second half of the 1st century at Argos; Délos XXVII, D 28--D 30, p. 242, fig. 124, pl. 41; OlBer VI, p. 49, fig. 31:a (early Imperial, from Olympia).
