Description:
Red krater coated white. Description from Matteucig (1951): Krater; height: 23 cm; diameter: 22.5 cm. (see Matteucig's plate II, 2). Italo-Geometric. Clay brick red with dull and shiny whitish particles, as in 8-1505. Decorations in matt red paint over creamish slip. High straight neck with slightly flaring lip, rounded body, low, hol low disk foot. Central part of vase decorated with concentric circles around a central dot; above and below this zone, a frieze of alternating four straight and four wavy vertical lines (metope pattern); a red band borders the neck and foot; three horizontal bands under lower frieze. Vase cracked in many places; some missing parts filled in with chalky whitish clay; half of the foot restored. This vase falls, as far as its technique is concerned, on the borderline between my impasto type D and Italo-Geometric. The clay is slightly finer than that of 8-1505, and the thick walls connect the vase with "Impasto D," whereas the decoration is that of Italo-Geometric vases. (Cf. Blakeway, B.S.A ., XXXIII, 1932-1933, p. 193 fig. 15 and text ad loc.) For some interesting parallels and comparisons, cf. Montelius, pi. 255, 11 from Bisenzio; pi. 256, 5; pi. 259, n, the well known "lydion" from Vulci; pi. 282, 18; Mon. Ant., XV, 1905, col. 681, fig. 202, a. Cf. also Not.
