Agora Object: PNL 199
Inventory Number:   PNL 199
Title:   XVIII
Description:   Fragment of discus alone preserved.
The discus has two Erotes. In high relief with a sort of palmette between them. Around the edge a raised herring bone pattern. A rim around the comparatively large filling hole.
Above the palmette the edge of the shoulder is pointed and beside the right foot of the left Eros there is a knob projecting outside the normal edge. It does not seem likely that this lamp had a handle, as there is really no place for it.
Clay: fine buff; pinkish brown glaze.
Context:   Thesmophorion, clearing north of terrace wall.
Date:   1932
Bibliography:   Hesperia Suppl. 7 (1943), pp. 59, 60, no. 102, fig. 25.
