Miniature kyatos, A miniature kyatos with a flat bottom and a bowl whose walls widen diagonally almost halfway up and then become vertical. Where the walls break, a sharp protrusion remains on the outer side the diameter of the upper part is smaller than the lower. The vertical handle is strongly extended upwards, attached to a protrusion on the body and to the spout, with a crossbar above the spout's edge. On the outer side it has a ribbon shape, then from the top widens inward with an undercut above the spout. The undercut part is decorated with engraved vertical lines. Engraved lines are also found on the bottom arranged in a grid and under the base of the handle in the shape of the letter X. The upper surface of the edge on the body is decorated with diagonal engravings, the lower part of the vertical walls with recessed dots; both rows are separated by a horizontal engraved line. Early 7th century BC, Caere, vessel; height 6.3 cm, width 7.7 cm., A small ceramic vessel with an attached looped handle sits on a flat surface against a pale gray background; the vessel is rounded with a slightly flared rim and a rounded base, showing an overall worn, earthy brown and tan surface with patches of darker brown and subtle reddish-brown areas, and the handle shares the same brown-tan coloring with uneven texture and weathered appearance.
