Italian Thin-walled Ware Beaker.

Part of rim, wall, and floor restored.

Underside slightly convex. Deep body, concave at bottom and widening to convex upper body, contracted below rim. Flaring rim with ridge below. Two horizontal rows of dots below rim. Below them, three rows of festoons of dots. Very thin, gritty fabric, red to dark reddish gray (2.5YR 6/5--5YR 4/2), with many red, white, and black inclusions.

The only nearly complete example from the Agora. Other fragments, all of the same shape and decoration: P 4094 (H. A. Thompson 1934, D 79, p. 392, fig. 78 [H 16:4]), P 11857 (Agora V, F 24, p. 13, pl. 1, with slightly more elaborate decoration [N 19:1, upper fill]), P 31136 (Rotroff 1983, no. 106, p. 297, pl. 61 [E 6:2, upper fill]), P 3836 (M 23:1, main chamber), P 14476 (M 20:1, lower fill), P 4287, P 4216, P 6592. Fabric varies; mostly very fine, with reddish brown surface (ca. 5YR 5/4) and gray core but sometimes reddish brown or gray throughout.
