Title:   Panathenaic Amphora Fragment
Description:   Thick ring at the join of neck. Part of the neck ornament a tiny part of the shoulder ray and upper part of the crest of Athena preserved.

Athena is turned to left. Her crest is outlined with a red band.
This kind of ornament is assigned(?) to the Panathenaic of the fifth century (ours is certainly one of its last appearance); a fifth century date is also supported by the use of red (Beazley, Panathenaica p. 454).
End of fifth century.
