THE POTTERY.
157
The siüülarly perforated cup shovvn on XXXV. 13 has many parallels among
the Hissarlik vases. As regards its shape it is like the geometric cups of
Sects. G and 7 with the addition of a small hollow foot: the same footed
type, as has beeil already said, occurs among the painted wäre found in
»Siphnos and Syros.
PI. XXXV. 17 is an example of the ordinaiy type of three-legged cooking-
pot. Another common type, of which we have no entire specimen, liad
straight sides and no neck, the handlesbeing either attached as on XXXV. 17
or standing upright on the top of the rim (cf. Fig. 77). Baking pans like
those found at Tiryns and Mycenae (Schliemann, Tivyns, p. 116, No. 26) were
represented by numerous fragments. The large vase represented by Fig. 145
has low, wide-spreading sides and a cup-like, sharp-edged hollow in the
middle: the type is fairly common, and bears some resemblance to the large
vessels used in ancient Egypt for washing the hands over. Fig. 146 has a
remarkable turned-over rim.
In a house belonging to the latest settlement there was found a collec-
tion of small and very rude hand-made vessels of which XXXV. 12 is one of
Fig. 145.1—(1 :4),
the least shapeless specimens. XXXV. 8 is of the same class of wäre, and so is
a small jug found within the fortress and published in B.S.A. vol. iii, p. 57,
Fig. 5. The other vases of this group, however, are much rüder than these,
and have no distinct form. But primitive as they are in appearance, they
are not. to be confounded with the genuinely primitive wäre of the cist-
tomb period. Mr. Bosanquet has rightly remarked that the small jug which
he published, though of rude workmanship, is not really of an early type.
XXXV. 12 again, with its foot and high handle, is clearly copied from a model
of the Mycenaean age. The whole group is comparatively late and the rude
workmanship is an intentional anachronism. It has been suggested by
Furtwängler and Löschcke with reference to some late, hand-made vases
found at Mycenae, that they were intended for use in religious cereinonies,
