Plemochoe with lid

Plemochoe with a convex shaped body decorated with a reserved band on the edge of the circular mouth with a pattern of black glazed lines on a stemmed ring foot. It is characterised by its inturned, dipping lip which prevents spelling, and may have been used to hold precious fragrances, oils or essences. Greek exaleipho = to anoint. Body intact, small abrasions to the lid, some aereas misfired.
