A wishbone handle rises from the top of the wall, on either side; a lug protrudes from either side of each handle.

Walls slightly concave, divided from a spreading, lipped torus ring foot, with a pointed resting surface, by a pair of grooves. This example corresponds to Ure's Class II.C skyphos, particularly (ii) which includes reddish-purple bands just below the level of the handles, perhaps a band at the bottom of the body where it joins the ring foot, and concentric purple bands on the underside (or plain black or reserved undersides).

temp.2022.7.3 the shape is similar to an askos (a jar used to pour wine or olive oil but askoi generally have a pouring spout wider and parallel to the handle, and they are very often zoomorphic), this is a cruet for daily use.
