Upper part of a handmade pithos reassembled from fragments. It was discovered in 1998 during the Makrygiannis plot excavation in Well Μ 23.

It has a cylindrical neck and a flat rim that turns outwards. All over its surface there are incised decorative motifs (crosses, hatched triangles, swastikas, wavy and vertical lines).

Pithoi were used for the storage of liquid and solid products, such as oil and grain. However, they were often used for funerary purposes, for the burial of babies or toddlers. After the deceased was placed inside, the pithos’ mouth was covered with a smaller vessel, a stone slab or a lump of clay, and the vessel was deposited in the burial pit.
