Definitions

English
Lekanis lids from the 6th through early 5th c. were convex and created an almost circular appearance with the lekanis itself. For the rest of the 5th and into the 4th c., the lid became flatter, answering the parallel development of the bowl. The lid generally has a central stem or knob for a handle.
