Fragmentary Spiral Amphora

Amphora · 620–600 B.C.
Five fragments, four of which join. Three fragments are from neck of vase and show delicately incised scalloped border just above carination. Another fragment preserves beginning of shoulder and indicates that it was decorated with three incised parallel strokes, perhaps the tups of a W-shaped design often used on such vases. Smallest fragments are undecorated and probably come from portion of belly.
