Terracotta stemmed dish

Unknown Artist

The rim is decorated with four heads in relief.

It is interesting to compare this object with its Attic counterpart (1977.11.5) of about a century later Though comparable in general appearance, they are significantly different in the quality of the clay and in the articulation of the shape.
