2025, May: mended with Acryloid B-72 in 40% acetone solution (A. Kandri).
Description
Circular outline. Circular discus has flat framing ring. Rounded, outward sloping shoulder has large ovules and “ears” in shape of arching band with volutes at transition to side; horizontal orientation to body but rising slightly above shoulder.
Fabric, firing, surface
Fabric: 2.5YR 6/6, light red. Glaze: 10R 5/8, red. Thick, semilustrous, mottled red glaze over white slip, extends inside over upper wall.
Preservation comment
Three joining sherds (1989-008) and one small, nonjoining sherd (1989-012) preserve ca. 40% of shoulder with both ears, part of nozzle, and contiguous walls almost to base. Slight, sparse abrasion and pitting.
