Abstract
Lidded Urn: Ovoid bucchero sottile storage vessel with upturned handles, standing on a low foot. The shoulder is decorated with an intricate incised pattern of alternating full and half-open fans. The body has vertical flutes and rays above the foot. The lid has a central knob handle and two upturned perforated lug handles, with sets of incised concentric rings, the sides with rotating half-open fans. The vessel’s shape is reminiscent of the Greek stamnos, first produced in Laconia and Cyprus in the Archaic period, before being adopted in Attica, ca. 530-525 BCE. The container could store liquids, like an amphora, or mixing wine with water, like a krater. This lidded example may have been used as an urn to contain the cremated ashes of the deceased.
