Forty-seven Fragments of Arretine Pottery Decorated with Various Relief, No Signatures

View through Harvard Museums
Fragment 26: Triangular-shaped fragment of red Arretine pottery. This fragment comes from close to the rim of the vessel and is therefore decorated with three incised lines circling the vessel. Below the first two lines is another rim element, where there is a slightly raised horizontal register decorated with slightly slanted vertical lines approx. 0.2 cm apart running all around the vessel. Below these rim elements is another repeated pattern of raised dots, and beneath that is the repeated pattern of a modified egg-and-dart decoration. This fragment also features one leaf-shaped element that is part of the now-missing figure below.
