      Detailed description of form\/shape:
      \n<\/strong>Biconical body with flat base, narrow neck, wide flat lip, and vertical handle extending from the lip down to just above the widest part of the body. Buff fabric.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Detailed description of decoration:
      \n<\/strong>A wide, matte brown-black band encircles the widest part of the lower half of the body, and three thin brown bands encircle the widest part of the upper half. The edge and top of the rim was also once painted dark brown, though the surface there has been worn down, as on the handle and in other places on the body, to the buff-colored clay. The parts not covered with matte dark bands were probably meant to be fired red (as in the <\/span>      Black-on-Red<\/span><\/a> technique) but instead appear mostly gray, with the red only achieved on some parts of the lower body due to improper firing conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Comparanda:
      \n<\/strong>For an almost identical piece in shape, design, and decoration, see the Black-on-Red juglet <\/span>      British Museum 1894,1101.539<\/span><\/a>, from Amathus, Cyprus. A similar vessel in the British Museum (<\/span>1863,0728.86<\/span><\/a>) excavated at Gela, Sicily, is identified as a aryballos and dated to the Hellen<\/span>istic period, but the Cypro-Archaic juglet is a closer parallel for both shape and decoration. Another comparable Cypro-Archaic juglet is in the collection of the <\/span>The Claremont Colleges\u2019 <\/span>Institute for Antiquity and Christianity<\/span>, no. <\/span>77.1.14<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>This type was classified by Gjerstad as Black-on-Red III (V) (Schreiber 2003, fig. 6.4).<\/span><\/p>\n

      Discussion:
      \n<\/strong>Because of its flat top and connected handle, this juglet may be considered an <\/span>      aryballos<\/span><\/a>, a small vessel used to carry around oil, especially by ancient athletes. Its shape and decoration are closest to <\/span>Black-on-Red Ware<\/span><\/a> juglets made on Cyprus in the Archaic period, but it lacks the characteristic red background color, except in a few places on the lower part of the body. The color gradation at the bottom and gray areas along the bottom and neck result from lack of sufficient oxygen during the <\/span>firing process<\/span><\/a> (for experimental archaeology at Johns Hopkins demonstrating how misfirings can easily occur, see <\/span>\u201cWeek 12-Slip Ups\u201d<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n
