Comments

In excavation report, the sherd is said to have been donated to the scientific deparment of the Courtauld Institute of Art, London (Mond & Myers 1937: 189), where scientific analyses were carried out by Dr P.D. Ritchie. In 2015, an exchange with A. Gerstein, curator at the Institute, did not clarify the current whereabout of this sherd.
