- Description
- Hemispherical bowl with low ring foot and molded relief on lower wall. Medallion: single ridge surrounded plain field. Calyx framed above by single ridge: five double-outline lotus leaves; between each is fan palmette over four circles flanked by fleurs-de-lis. Maker’s name in thin, serifed letters between lotus leaves and branch of fan palmette: ΑΡΙϹΤ[ΟΝΕΙΚΟ]Υ.
- Fabric, firing, surface
- Fine, light red fabric fired with slightly darker core; hard, fine, with laminar break; frequent tiny micaceous flakers; uncommon, well sorted, small, spherical lime particles and rarer dark bits (gray and red). Even, semilustrous slip is thickest on interior where it is slightly darker red; nearer in color to fabric on exterior, though also more worn. Eastern Aegean/Asia Minor.
- Preservation comment
- One large sherd preserves 80% of base and large part of adjacent lower wall. Extensive, slight abrasion and large area of erosion with flaking; red slip is worn, particularly on high point of molded decoration but extant on all surface; worn breaks; extensive film of encrustation.
