- Description:
- Corded krater on a foot. Description from Matteucig (1951): Stamnoid Krater; height: 43 cm; diameter: 35 cm; (see Matteucig's plate I, 1). Red impasto. Clay brick-red throughout, with numerous impurities. Dark red, almost brown surface, rather rough and porous, with a few polished spots. Low neck, ridged inside, with offset rim. On the shoulder, a horizontal rib to which are attached a number of vertical ribs distributed over the body of the vase. On the middle of the body, halfway between the horizontal handles, a knob surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped cord. Hollow ribbed stem; flat, asymmetrical foot. Vase slightly cracked in several places and mended with reddish clay. The cords are not attached, as in other specimens, but worked out of the surface clay. I cannot find a close parallel to this vase. The krater in Not. Sc., 1898, p. 442, fig. 7, center, is a reproduction of our own specimen before it reached the University of California Museum. For the same general type, but differing in detail, cf. Not. Sc., 1907 p. 339. fig. 68, upper right, from a tomba a fossa in Tarquinia; Not. Sc., 1928, p. 446, fig. 22 from Capodimonte, and ibid., p. 460, fig. 39.
