Fabric: | marble/limestone | |||||||
Shape: | flat & finished on underside, deep indentation on top to make basin. | |||||||
Decoration: | ||||||||
Dimensions: | d. roughly 0.23 m, not perfectly round; height: 13 cm | |||||||
Remarks: | flat side probably originally the top as well finished, chisel marks below, not meant to be seen. Therefore, this is a top of a waist-high stand. Reuse by turning upside down and hollowing out unevenly (one side thicker than other) -- to create a mortar? Similar to unpublished mortars/tomb marker bases in Sparta Museum. |
