Based on the description of the floral designs near the top of the vase, the type of line primarily used is "curved."
To determine the type of line used to create the floral designs near the top of the Corinthian Round Bodied Pyxis, we can analyze the visual characteristics of the image. First, locate the digital image of the pyxis, either by searching online or accessing it from the Getty's Open Content Program.
Once you have the image, closely examine the floral designs near the top of the vase. Look for the lines that form the outlines and details of the floral patterns. Pay attention to the direction and shape of these lines.
In this case, the options provided are:
1. curved
2. diagonal
3. horizontal
4. zig zag
Compare these options to the lines present in the floral designs on the pyxis. Determine which option corresponds best to the lines that were primarily used in creating the floral designs near the top of the vase.
For example, if the lines have gentle, flowing curves, then the correct answer would be "curved." If the lines slope at an angle, then the correct answer would be "diagonal." If the lines are perfectly straight and parallel to the horizon, then the correct answer would be "horizontal." Lastly, if the lines have a series of sharp angles, resembling a zig-zag pattern, then the correct answer would be "zig zag."
By carefully observing the lines in the image and comparing them to the given options, you can determine the type of line primarily used to create the floral designs near the top of the vase.
