Rim Of Hole-Mouthed Vessel With Imitation Mycenaean Painted Decoration

Description

Rim of hole mouth vessel, which was a two-handled, spouted shape. Red and brown paint on brown-buff. 5 brown foliat bands on lip, in between areas of red. There is a band of red paint below the lip, and and the remains of 3 large brown dots, probably a larger foliate band or pendant motif.
