UN PUNZONE PER DECORAZIONE CERAMICA DA FESTÒS

Nicola Cucuzza

Abstract


A clay stamp was found by chance in the Haghia Photini quarter, located to the north of the Minoan Palace of Phaistos. The stamp, reproducing an 11-petal rosette and a very thin tongue, was surely used for pottery decoration; thanks to the characteristics of the two decorative motifs, a Hellenistic chronology is proposed. It might be good evidence for pottery production at Phaistos during the Hellenistic age.
