Broad projecting rim with handle-ridge below it; tall wide neck, rounded shoulder, strap handles. Fine somewhat sandy buff clay, thin fabric; reddish brown glaze on rim inside and out, over the tops of handles, for a broad band around shoulder, also on foot and lower wall, all much worn. Rhodian.

As 1497, but the taller version; cf. Würzburg 142: Lang- lotz, W, pl. 18. The shape is found in Rhodes in contexts of the early 5th century, e.g. from Ialysos: Cl. Rh., VIII, p. 109, fig. 97 center, above (Grave 8-1), sometimes along- side the squat variety; cf. op. cit., p. 188, fig. 179 left, above, contents of Grave 78. See also from Thera, a fragmentary example with traces of painted decoration on the neck: Thera, II, p. 41, fig. 128. Miss Grace notes that the dis- proportion of neck to body is a characteristic of some small containers, where the neck remains close to the size of the standard version, but the body has shrunk.
