Pierides Foundation Museum: Bowl

Bowl. Hard red fabric. Low base with upturned ring, hemisherical boby, extrenally concave vertical rim. The decoration is rendered with broad lines incised on a thin layer of white slip that covers the inside surface and the external edge of the rim. The theme in the well is an anthropomorphic rosette with six petals. The masculine name ' Θόδωρο(ς)' (Thodoros) is incised in Greek between two of the petals; it is either the owner's name or the name of the artisan who decorated the bowl. A green glazing covers the interior surface of the vase and the rim externally. Assigned to the Paphos pottery production
