Title:   Black Figure Lekanis
Category:   Pottery
Description:   Mended from many fragments; more than one-third of the rim and part of the sides missing. Low flaring ring foot; flaring sides with narrow vertical rim and small flat projecting lip; remains of attachments of two horizontal strap handles.
The inside covered with thin blotchy glaze, nearly all fired to a light crimson. Around the center, a deep purplish-red, is an unglazed circle, perhaps a kiln line.
Around the rim, outside, a broad band of glaze top and bottom, the space between filled by heavy transverse strokes. The foot is decorated with glaze top and bottom; just above it, around the body of the vase, two irregular bands; between these bands and the rim, the body is decorated with a zone of animals and monsters: a Siren facing a panther; following the Siren, another panther, and a stag with curving antlers, the last two separated by a goose. The animals are placed with the heads toward the foot of the vase. Filling ornaments in profusion: rows of short strokes, large and small solid rosettes, circles enclosing dots.
No incision; poor work.
Pinkish-buff clay, on the exterior a creamy white at the surface.
