Agora Object: AP 2569
Inventory Number:   AP 2569
Title:   Stirrup Jar: Patterned
Category:   Pottery
Description:   Mycenaean stirrup vase, fragmentary.
Interior plain; exterior with four brown glaze bands. Buff clay.
ADDENDA 2018: Sixteen sherds mended into five non-joining fragments of a large stirrup jar, with torus, domed base.
The exterior decoration consists of a monochrome foot, reserved below, and medium bands at regular intervals. Beginning at the widest point, the upper bands are filled, the first two ranks consist of fine line groups, the next two in succession: papyrus fill and triglyphs and horizontal zigzag. None of the upper vessel survives, so it is unclear if there was further decoration in the handle zone.
The paint is thick and evenly applied, fired light to dark brown. There are no traces of use-wear or burning.
ADDENDA 2020: One base fragment added from lot and mended.
Probably belongs with AP 2926 and AP 2957.
