st century BC. From the collection of János Hajnal. Said to be from Kerch. Bibi.: Vezető 1947, 48, no. 12; Falco, G., BullMusHongrBA 90-91 (1999) 29-38. Restored: stuck together. Part of the rim is missing. The bowl broke in two parts. Four pairs of cylindrical holes can be found along the break. The clay flaked off at both edges of the holes. In each of them remains of lead staples are found, which were levelled to the surface of the bowl. The staples were painted over in the colour of the bowl, probably when the two parts were stuck together (fig. 24). The holes are 3.5 mm in diameter.
