Kantharos

Very fine kantharos of buccheroid impasto, brownish-black fabric. Shallow disc foot, angular body with sharp carination. Tall concave rim. Plastic handles with rams’ heads leaning over lip, split and attached at carination. The rams’ heads have curving horns and small bronze bosses for each eye, at the top of the nose, the mouth, at the top of the horns, two on each handle above the split, and at the bottom towards the join.

Above the carination is a ring of incised vertical lines. There is a triangular protuberance at the carination midway between the handles, also with incised lines and bronze bosses. The protuberance on the opposite side has broken off, though some of the bronze bosses remain. Missing some of the rim on either side.
