Parabolic Cup.

Bottom, much of lower wall, and part of upper wall restored.

Deep cup. Rim beveled to inside with shallow groove below. Hard, fine, somewhat micaceous, gray fabric (10YR 5/1); thick, shiny glaze, dark gray to very dark gray (10YR 4/1--7.5YR N3/).

Shape probably as ESA Samaria Form 18 (Samaria III, nos. 18, 21, p. 335, fig. 80). For the shape in Pergamene sigillata see PF VI, no. 58, p. 217, pl. 9, Type B 3, p. 78. A gray-ware cup of the same shape but with plain rim, from Heraclea, is displayed in the Siris Museum, in South Italy.
