- Description
- Cup or chalice. Flaring rim with grooves above and below; wide convex band forms transition to outer wall, then a set of grooves (one deep) above row of ovolo. The single sherd preserving one molded figure depicts a naked male striding to left of scene with cloth draped over left arm and strap over right shoulder and diagonally across torso; right arms extends to next motif, which is absent but for uncertain blob in front of figure.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Very slightly granular fabric consistently fired to very light red; no visible inclusions, though the sherd is slightly encrusted by plaster which obscures the details of the fabric. The darker red slip is thin and very distinct from the fabric.
- Preservation comment
- Two non-joining small sherds, one body and one rim, from same vessel (as indicated by circumstance of excavation?). Slight, extensive abrasion and flaking/pitting across surface with rare large chips; somewhat worn breaks. Frequent small chips on surface show fabric under slip. The appliqué figure is quite well preserved, though with wear at prominent points.
