Description
Corinthian figured kotyle. Exterior preserves traces of two horizontal glazed lines. Above, delineated with faint incision and filled with glaze, are elements of figured decoration: what appears to be the leg and hoof of an animal at left, and perhaps another hoof at right (or a filler ornament). Between the two, at the upper edge of the fragment, a curved figure may represent the belly of the animal or another filler ornament. Late 7th-early 6th c. BCE.
