Los Angeles, United States

Free-blown oinochoe of pale green glass. The body is decorated with five indentations. The rim is trefoil with four thin threads decorating the underside. The handle attaches the shoulder to the rim and is folded underneath the rim. Part of a thread that once encircled the neck is still visible. Weathering has caused iridescence over most of the vessel.
