Definitions

English
The skyphos-krater is a very large, deep bowl with two horizontal strap handles with returns, and its rim is flanged or incurving to receive a domed lid. The bowl may be supported by an echinus foot, or joined to a conical stand. The skyphos-krater is an uncommon shape with a long history, being made from the Late Geometric period to the first quarter of the 6th c. BCE.
