Lotosblumen

600 - 480 v. Chr.

The juglet is an ordinary type. Its decoration, with large lotus flowers turned downwards and a reserved guilloche, recalls the decoration of many Bichrome V vases. Globular body, narrow neck with a horizontal ridge, funnel rim, handle from neck-ridge to shoulder, flat base. The shoulder zone on either side of the handle is decorated with two large lotus flowers turned downwards. A leaf-shaped motif with transversal lines on the shoulder opposite the handle. The middle part of the body is decorated with a horizontal band of reserved guilloche. Bands around neck and at rim.
