Object card

English, translated from the French record

Limestone basin fragment, incomplete, from the rim: H. 16.5 cm, diameter restored 42 cm, rim width 2.8 cm. It is a fragment of a circular basin with thick walls, decorated on the outer wall with a series of ribbed leaves bounded by an astragal; at the upper part the space between the ovolo motifs is filled with sharp-edged triangles. Found in a fill of Imperial date (1st-3rd century AD). The decoration of this basin recalls both that of bowls and urns found at Corinth and that of certain large phialai, such as the one from Saint Demetrios of Thessaloniki. Inventory V_0117; SAL_1078; 23 September 1966.
