Rim flat on top, sloping inwards. Rounded boss. The boss is surrounded by a ring of ovules and one of impressed palmettes. Reserved: interior of boss, top of it with circle and dot, and the rim; the rest glazed.
From a contemporary deposit comes a very similar though larger boss: P 24169 Q 15:2. For other phialai with ovules and palmettes round the boss see Athens Acr. 1276: Langlotz, pl. 91; Salonica, from Olynthos: Olynthus, V, pl. 152, 556; Izmir, from Old Smyrna: B.S.A., LIII-LIV, 1958-59, pl. 44, 217. Athens 2137, with small ring handles, has ovules and notching at the edge of the bowl and palmettes, ovules, meander and notching round the boss; it is most likely not Attic. See also Beazley, EVP, pp. 239-240 and 307; two in Ferrara inv. 2133-4, from Spina Tomb 858 have stamping and rouletting inside and are not Attic.
