THE POTTERY OF CYPRUS.
(1) Technique Usually Good ; Mycenaean Influence More or
Less Apparent (C 738-791).
C 738. PLATE OR BOWL. Form 84. Diam. <)\ in. (with handles, I2| in.). From
R. H. Lang's excavations at Dali ; acquired 1873.
Shallow form, nearly flat, with two horned handles ; cf. Cyprus Mus. Cat.,
901. Red clay with buff slip ; black
paint, worn in places, with remains of red.
Paint on rim and handle ; in the interior,
broad central ring, from which a spiral
issues, merging in an outer ring ; beyond,
two rings. On the exterior, round the base,
broad bands and fine rings, one of the
former in light red ; on the edge of the
foot, row of spots. Underneath the foot,
within a ring, is an elaborate pattern of
a square composed of parallel bands of
hatched lines, lattice-lozenges, and hatched triangles within a frame of parallel

PLATE. Form 84. Diam. ioi in. Similarly acquired.
Nearly flat, with two horizontal handles (one wanting), on which are
projecting spurs. Buff slip ; dull dark brown paint. Paint on rim and
handle ; in the interior, large thick spiral merging in broad band, and outer

bands ; on base-ring, small black squares at intervals ;
underneath foot, oblong panel of lattice-lozenges,
forming a network, with solid lozenges at intersections, •
on each side of which is a lattice-triangle, with border
of double lines, and at each end a plain triangle (sec

Horned handles, as C 738. Thin drab slip ; dull black paint. Paint on
rim and handles ; in the interior, thick central spiral surrounded by broad band.
Round the base on exterior, broad and narrow bands ; underneath the foot,
