Description
Cup of common Iberian ware. It is deep with a low foot, out-turned rim and opposite horizontal handles that are slightly raised. This is an imitation of a Greek skyphos, which were used for drinking and were widely accepted in the Iberian world. However, the cup also displays formal features that are clearly indigenous, such as the biconical profile of the body. It comes from the Mas Castell de Porqueres site, an Iberian village located on a small hill on the shore of Lake Banyoles.
