THE POTTERY OF CYPRUS.
two (at the opposite diametrical points) slightly smaller and lower. On both
faces of these projections and on the exterior (running round just below the lip)
is an engraved band consisting of three parallel zigzag lines. The lower surface
is not flattened.
[Cf. Cyprtis Miis. Cat., Nos. 41-43.]
C 45. ONE-HANDLED CUP. Form 3. Ht. of bowl, 2} in.; with handle, 4I in.;
diam. 55; in. Similarly acquired.
Technique as last; unpolished ; black patches on surface, as in C 3.
Flattened hemispherical form with high-looped handle ; on the lip opposite the
handle is a slightly raised knob, as if remains of a pierced projection. Round
the exterior, just below the lip, a horizontal running zigzag, and a similar
pattern on the upper surface of the handle.
[Cf. Cyprus Mils. Cat., Nos. 27-29.]
Q 46 BOWL. Form 3. Ht. 5^ in. ; diam. 6^ in. Similarly acquired.
Form as last, with slightly recurved rim (cf. C 25-26). Thin red slip.
Handle repaired. Round the exterior below the rim, is incised a zigzag line.
C 47. JUG. Ht. 10 in. Similarly acquired.
Finer technique, though hand-made ; clay finely-ground
and deep brown. The surface is covered with a slip which
is reddish-black all over except in the part below the handle
on right, which is bright brick-red. Patterns engraved before
the slip was applied. The body widens out towards the base ;
the lip is bent outwards all round and downward to form a
spout; at the top of the handle, which is oblong in section, a
high hook rises (cf. C 9 ; part broken away) ; at the base of
the neck opposite the handle are two pinched-out excrescences,
one above the other.
The decoration consists chiefly of groups of three parallel Kg. 13 = c 47.
wavy lines which run round the interior of the lip and neck,
from the spout vertically down the neck and body, and similarly from the top
of the handle ; also from the base of the handle round the body to
the front.
[Cf. Cyprus Mus. Cat., p. 43, No. 111 ff.]
Q 43_ JUG. Form 6. Ht. 7 in. Similarly acquired.
Very rough, but with a fine slip which has been polished but is now mostly
faded. Globular body with long narrow neck and funnel-shaped mouth ; thick
ring-handle. On the upper part of the bod)' opposite to the handle is a
horizontal raised strip, i-^- in. long and 4. in. wide, which ma}' have been
impressed with a cable-pattern. On the neck and handle are vertical bands of
engraved zigzags.
