THE POTTERY.
91
Lozcnfes are a common dement of design, and they liave ot'ten some small
ornamcnt at each of their four Corners {e.g. V. 10 and 11). One unpub-
lished fragment has a frieze of stippled circles connected by tangents of dotted
lines, and below tbe frieze there is a zigzag band (like IV. 6) with a border
of dots on eacb side. But tbe most interesting design is on IV. 8, a, b, c.
On fragment C is represented a boat with enrving stein in which Stands a man
guiding (apparently with bis elbow '.) tlie long steeiing-oar. The shortslanting
lines above and below the hu 11 no doubt stand for oars. The body of tbe
man is shaped like an hour-glass, and of this geometric scheine we shall meet
with several other instances later on. The boat is of somewhat the same
type as those on the early incised wäre froin Chalandriane ('E<£. 'Ap%. 1899,
p. 9Ü),1 on none of which, however, do the steersman and steering-oar occur.
Fragment b shows the general scheine of the design. The object between
the divergent bands (more distinet on«) might be interpreted, in acccordance
with the marine character of the representation, as
a highly conventionalized fish, but it is safer to
set it down as a niere lozenge pattern like those
just mentioned. Lastly, the design on IV. 12 b
deserves to be noted; it recalls certain (originally
aninial) representations on the Hissarlik whorls
{e.g. Schliemann, Mos, No.s. 1909, 1911, 1913, etc.
in the plates).
3. The vase IV. 7 which represents an ox or
some other quadruped, has a rlat-rimtned spout
like the duck-vases, and is decorated with similar
patterus. Its ehest and rump are strewn with
small lozenges (see Fig. 75). There has been a
small suspension-handle below the neck and the Pia 75.—Fbont View of
top of the tail is converted into a second. We Amm.m. n ase.
found part of another vase of the same type, and (Por Side View see PI. IV. 7.)
bofh of them are of local fabric.
4. So also is the ring-vase (PI. IV. 9), which bears a suggestive resem-
blance to a serpent. It has a spout of tbe same shape as tbe preceding
types and a small- suspension-handle below the neck. The idea of inaking
vases in the shape of a hollow ring with an upright spout is a very old
one, for the forin is already found in the archaic pottery of Egypt (Petrie and
Quibell, Naqada and Balkis, PI. XXXVI. No. 84).
ö. Fragments of beaked jugs with a dark lustrous coat, like the preced-
ing vases, were occasionally found. In the matter of shape they belong to
type («), p. 98. A vase of this class in Sevres, 1419°, has a pattern in
relief round the Shoulder consisting of four sets of three vertical lines, like
certain very common patterns on the painted types, and there is a similar
vase in the British Museum. The only one that we found with an incised
