| Description | A fragment from a impasto double-handle, which preserves a large, flat finial, which when viewed from the decorated side is missing the upper left hand quarter. Its lower section is rectangular with curved edges, while the upper edge shows a triangular projection at the upper right corner and the remains of a curved top (left side broken off). The molded decoration consists of a floral pattern: from two adjoining spirals spring two stalks, each extending outward to the side of the finial, then turning downward to form its lateral and bottom border, and joining in a round stud below the spirals; between these two stalks a portion of a cone-like stem or bud rises vertically; above the spirals in the area bordered by the stalks is a volute; at the top of the finial along the curving border is another stalk-like ridge from which rays emerge and extend to the edge. The backside of the finial is smooth and undecorated except towards the base where a portion of the outside, looping half of the double-handle is preserved. Below the finial proper is the remains of the inside half of the handle; in this case, its profile is straight. |
