On the shoulder, deer attacked by sphinxes and griffins, water birds; On the body, bull attacked by lion. This fine fragment represents an early phase in the development of Fikellura pottery. In the animal groups as well as the drawing, there is a vitality that later subsides. The name Fikellura derives from a site on the island of Rhodes to which this fabric has been attributed. It is now established that the center of production was Miletus.

These are the remains of the covered portico (stoa) connecting the ancient Bath of Faustina at Miletus to the exercise area or palaestra. As you can tell from this photo, over the centuries silt carried down by the Meander river covered the entire city of Miletus many feet deep. To expose these ruins, tons of silt and the plants that had grown on it had to be cleared away.
