II. MYCENAEAN FABRICS (C 331 694).
1. VASES WITH DESIGNS IN LIGHT COLOUR
ON DARK GROUND (C 331-332).
Of these C 331 is probably an imported specimen of a similar type to
those described in Excavations at Pliylakopi, pp. 107, 118 (cf. Fig. 90 and
pl- xxiv. 9), an early (if not pre-) Mycenaean fabric of uncertain origin ;
possibly corresponding to Furtwaengler and Loeschcke's " first Mycenaean style "
\Myken. Vase//, p. vii.).1 C 332 is entirely Mycenaean in character, but the
treatment of the upper part of the vase seems to be more or less unique.
JAR. Form 51 (nearly). Ht. 5J in. From excavations at Enkomi (Turner Bequest), Plate IV.
'896 ; tomb 84. Excavations in Cyprus, p. 38, fig. 66 ; see Jahrb. d, arch. Ins/., XXVI. p. 216.
Red clay with glaze turned red in the firing, and much worn. Body pear-
shaped, with flat rim and small foot ; three string-holes on shoulder. Design in
dull white paint, mostly faded. Round the top, wavy line ; below, between
handles, feathery plants or seaweed.
KRATER. Form 47. Ht. 15J in. From excavations at Maroni, 1897; tomb 1.
Walters, Ancient Pottery, I., pl. xii.
Ovoid body with wide neck and flat ridged handles. Repaired and
^stored ; nearly complete. Upper part to middle of body covered with black
Paint (varying to red), on which the designs are painted in opaque buff pigment;
°n the lower part, buff slip with black paint (ordinary Mycenaean technique).
J-amt on sides of handles, interior of neck, and foot ; round lower part of body,
broad black bands.
On the shoulder each side, two large birds confronted, in outline, the bodies
■fill.
nhed in with various patterns: (a) lattice, chevrons, rows of dots, and other
Patterns imitating feathers ; {b) rows of zigzags (straight and curved), and small
c'osses. Between the birds, an altar (?) of conical form with flat bulging top, on
which arc two small birds confronted ; behind on each side, conventionalised
flowers of palmette type.
[Cf. for the technique of this vase Petrie, Tctl-cl-Amarna, pl. 27, and the fragments from
hat site (A 710). For the association of birds and altars, cf. C 400, and for later examples
C 858-859.]
