Class of the top band Stemlesses
With the name Class of the Top-Band Stemlesses (English Class of the Top-Band Stemlesses , also abbreviated Top-Band Stemlesses ) a class of Attic - black-figure bowls is referred to. They are last quarter of the 6th century BC. Dated. In terms of shape, these are small bowls on a low foot, without the usual high stem foot. The base plates are toroidal .
The name is given by the black ribbon on the upper edge, the decoration scheme of the bowls corresponds to the ribbon bowls , mostly with eyes in the handle zone, as with the eye bowls . In the interior picture ( tondo ) Gorgons are shown several times . John D. Beazley treated them like the segment class in his chapter on footless bowls, but did not attribute them to painters due to their modest quality.
