Aiuiji/i Kal ScVkXo, fig. 204.
Wide open shape with large round loop handle. Coarse clay, with smooth
surface shaded from greyish red to black ; uneven, heavy modelling.
From Dimini. Restored from fragment giving lip, base Plate III.
BOWL. Diam. of mouth Si in.
and handle. Ibid. fig. 44.
A shallow curved bowl, with offset lip and perhaps two large round loop
handles with projecting ends set horizontally on the shoulder: only one handle
is preserved. Yellowish brown clay, scraped and polished ; coarsely made ware.
CUP. Ht. if in. From Sesklo.
Hemispherical body with flat base and offset rim, with a
flat loop handle, now lost, set vertically on each side. Grey-
brown clay roughly moulded, with irregular but smooth surface
which is partly blackened. (Fig. 33.)
[Similar vases (as Ai/Ziji/i na\ Se'o-xXo, figs. 48, 49) were found in tombs at Seshlq with
Minyan ware. They are probably rough pieces of 1V1 inyan fabric or local imitations. See A 82,
etc., from Macedonia.]
CUP. Ht. 2 in. From Sesklo. One side is restored.
As last, but with slightly hollow base ; more smoothly made and of darker
colour. There is a hollow where a round handle has been broken out, and
almost at right angles to this, the base of a false spout set midway down the
side of the vessel (see the following number). (Fig. 34.)
SPOUT. L. 15
From Dimini. As Prehistoric Thessaly, fig. 79 m (Rini).
A false spout as in the preceding
(broken) example. Hollow open shape,
spreading towards the end, with lip slightly
turned in at the sides. The spout has
been broken out of the wall of the vase,
the inner surface of which is still attached.
Hard, dark grey clay full of shining
particles. (Fig 34.)
