60 THE POTTERY OF CYPRUS.
C 316. JAR or PYXIS. Form 54 (nearly). Ht. 2J in. From excavations at Curium (Turner
Bequest), 1S95 ; tomb S8.
Drab clay with deep buff slip ; purple-brown paint on body. About one-
fourth wanting ; the rest repaired ; in bad condition. A Mycenaean form, but
technique that of painted white ware. Three small ear-handles (one wanting) ;
no base-ring. On body, patterns of rf%^> .
C 317. JUG. Form 96. Ht. 3J in. From excavations at Enkotni (Turner Bequest), 1896;
tomb 10.
Pale buff clay and slip, the latter mostly worn away ; black paint. Plain
lip ; narrow spout in front ; no base-ring. As the following examples, except
for the rounded base. Remains of bands of dull black paint, horizontal,
oblique, and vertical.
C 318-' THREE JUGS. Ht. 7-7I in. From excavations at Enkomi (Turner Bequest), 1896; PlaiE *
320. tombs 12, 22, and 88.
Hand-made and shaped with a knife to a point below ; pear-shaped body
as C 322 ff., and plain neck without rim ; roughly modelled. Clay varying
from greenish-drab to red, without slip but partly polished.
[C£ J.H.S., XVII., p. 151, fig. 7 (a specimen from Laksha ton Riou, near Larnaka),
and Bliss, Mound of Many Cities, p. 87, fig. 174, pi. 4, fig- '75-]
C 321. JUG, similar. Ht. 7 J in. From excavations at Klavdia, near Larnaka, 1899 ; tomb A. 25.
Pale greenish-drab clay.
C 322. RATTLE. Ht. 5 in. From excavations at Enkomi (Turner Bequest), 1896; tomb 67.
Excavations in Cyprus, p. 37, fig. 65, No. 1085.
Modelled roughly by hand in the form of an owl, and shaped with the
knife to a point below, the upper part having holes pierced to represent eyes,
and rude indications of horns or ears ; ring-handle at back. Drab
clay and slip ; in technique and general appearance closely resembling
the jugs C 318-321.
C 323- TWO RATTLES, similar. Ht. of each, 42 in. Similarly acquired (tomb 83).
324. Excavations in Cyprus, p. 48, fig. 74.
Down the body, vertical stripes of dull black, much worn.
C 325. RATTLE, similar. Ht. 4J in. From excavations at Maroni, 1898 ; tomb 23.
B. 2. (4) Polished Buff Ware [Cyprus Mus, Cat. II. 2). C 326-330.
Closely allied to painted white ware of preceding class, but with harder
clay covered with a lustrous polished slip, on which are patterns in bright
lustrous red ; probably influenced by Mycenaean technique. Ornament usually
in the form of bands of lattice or chequer pattern. See Cyprus Mus. Cat., p. 38,
and cf. ibid. 411 ff. C 290, 298, 299 should also be grouped with this class.
