- Description:
- Bioconical blackware bottle, with a slightly flaring neck and a conical upper neck/spout, as well a sharply angled pedestal base. A strap handle emerges from the neck just below the point of inflection for the spout. There is a band of incised decoration around the lower neck, but it is much less crisp in detail than in 986.1.98. See comments for 986.1.95 as well. Here there appear to be 4 highly simplified runners from the side, with each enclosed by bands of wave motif.
