cup from Mycenae, reproduced in Perrot et Chipiez vi, p. 965, Fig. 533.

Santorini is figured in Dumont and Ghaplain PL I. No. 5. The type is
derived from the early pyxides with in-
cised ornamentation and sloping sides
(e.g. PI. IV. 1). The Santorini vase has a
small hole pierced in the bottom, and
the Phylakopi fragments show the same
peculiarity (Dum. et Chap. p. 33). Their
decoration contained no new feature. One
fragment had a spiral design in white upon
a coat of brown.
