Descriptions
- Description
- 3 joined fragments of ring (neck) krater, including the neck, everted rim, and shoulder with Pictorial Style decoration. The collar of the vessel is painted solid red-orange brown. On the shoulder there is the front portion of a goat, with long curved horns and beard, traces of more animals in front (probably another goat). Between the animals are diagonal and horizontally placed whorl shells and a rosette. The interior of the neck is slipped solid as well. The rim has foliate band groups. Reddish fabric. The rim and neck are chipped, and some of the pain is cracking.
