Description	The fragment is from the shoulder of a large, broadshouldered aryballos. The body is painted reddish brown while rudimentary tongues, reserved against the light clay, decorate the shoulder. The paint was applied hastily and, therefore, is thin and cracking. Even though the piece is extremely poor in quality, it is probably a poor example of Middle Late Corinthian, around 575 B.C.
Fabric Description	Light porous clay fired buff.
