| Scope and Content | Part of a group of images from the British School at Athens excavations at Palaikastro, Crete in the 1902-1905. The original description in the SPHS negative register reads: "Painted Dippers from Palaikastro". The drawing was possibly done by R.M. Dawkins. Listed as a Colour Slide in the SPHS negative register (A series), but the negative is black and white. |
| Notes | The objects were found in the second season of excavation at Palaikastro and the discussion of the objects in the excavation report for that year. The A series of negatives were created for colour slides produced from a colour drawings, and date from 1913. However, the extant negatives marked in the A series are black and white. Filler or dipper is an old term for rhyton. Since this image appeared in the 1913 slide catalogue, the earliest date is 1913. Marked as A 73b. A photograph of the actual rhyta on appears in related record BSA SPHS 01/4236.8783. |
