Sh 649 | B1000 | Bichrome Crater fragment | Cypriot bichrome (?) [photograph] | [photograph] 1954-25 1954-27 neg 65209 Wheel made Light orange red clay with much mica and black sand, greyish in core, whitish tam slip, matt crimson and black paint. Fragment of neck of crater with almost straight walls, flat rim with markedly overhanging but unspecified of the wall lip. About a centimeter below this is slightly depressed so that the finger feels a relief ridge which seems to mark the upper limit of a wide red band. 1,7cm below the red band is a black one, below which, where the wall begins to swell out two red and one black blots are visible, perhaps the ends of thick lines. The wall also thickens at this point.
