Krater

The fragments belong to a bell shaped vessel that imitates a Greek ceramic shape. It was a vessel used for either mixing wine with water or for storing food. The decoration consists in two horizontal grooves above the shoulder which are bordering the two handles typical to this type of ceramics. Light traces of secondary burning can be seen on its surface.
