Descriptions

Published Catalogue Text: Stone Sculptures: The Greek, Roman and Etruscan Collections of the Harvard University Art Museums , written 1990
8 Cycladic

Bowl

The bowl is complete, with traces of a brown incrustation on the interior and exterior surfaces.

The molding of the rim or lip of this bowl is well rounded, and the over-all appearance of the object would seem to place it late in the sequence of Cycladic bowls (Getz-Preziosi, 1987, p. 304, no. 126).
