Notes In Attic pottery of the fifth century B.C., the phenomenon of superposed or concentric rows of decoration occasionally appears. It is best represented on kraters, among the large shapes; on cups and bobbins, among vases with a circular format; and on alabastra. The iconography of this alabastron resembles that of many pyxides (boxes with lids)—the confinement of the home and the seductions of the world beyond.
