.. 20002001, 48—49, Fig. 51 (eight banded chevrons); Korakou, DICKINSON 1972, Pl. 34e, top row, right (fragment of an at least six banded chevron). Comment: Given the small size of the painted motif relative to the available space, it may formed part either a row of similar motives, as on the Midea example, or it may have been applied as a filling ornament on the sides of the main decoration, as on a goblet from Korakou, В LEGEN 192 i, 55, flg. 75,3. 31.
