THE l'OTTKRY OF CYPRUS.
belongs to this class. Date 500-300 1S.C. In the modelled figures a development
of style may be observed from rude hand-modelling to good Hellenic style
(see Cyprus Mus. Cat., p. 79). See generally Hermann, Graberfeld von
Marion; O.-Richter, Kypros, pis. 64, 179; J own. Hell. Stud., XL, p. 38.
C 984-985 show strong Hellenic influence, and the technique is partially red-
figured. C 9S6-989 are of later (Hellenistic date), usually without the
modelled spout, but with polychrome decoration.
C 973. JUG. Ht. 155 in. (antique part 135- in.) Excavated at Poli, 1886; acquired 1887.
Found in the same tomb with the Pasiades alabastron (B 668) and the kylix E 28 ; date
about 500 li.c. O.-Richter, Kypros, pi. 23, i, p. 42, fig-. 44 ; Hermann, Graberfeld des Marion,
p. 49, fig. 29 ; Class. Review, I. p. 336 ; Miscell. Photos, in G. and R. Dept., ii. 43.
Form as Cyprus Mus. Cat. 1313 ; elongated oval body with handle of two
ribs ; whole of neck and part of body restored. Dark red slip ; black paint with
purple and white accessories, the latter entirely faded. On handle, short cross-
strokes and two curved lines at base ; paint on foot. Spout on shoulder in form
of trefoil-mouthed jug held in both hands by a woman, the upper part of whose
figure is modelled in the round, the lower part in relief; the head, upper part
of body, and arms are wanting. She wears long chiton, the upper part painted
purple, under which her feet are just visible ; on her 1. arm arc two armlets.
On the upper part of the body, each side of the spout, are the following designs ;
in the middle, a tree with three branches each side, on which are leaves or fruit ;
on either side, a tree of conventional form ; on the ground-level are three water-
birds to r. in black silhouette ; in the field, stars and other patterns in white,
now faded away. Round the lower part of the body, rings and bands, with a
wavy line in the middle.
C 974. JUG, similar. Ht. 12J in. Similarly acquired (tomb 130). Class. Review, I. p. 316.
Body egg-shaped ; long slim neck and handle of two ribs. Buff clay ; thin
light brown slip, much worn ; black and white paint. On handle, double band
of oblique lines ; strokes of paint on neck ; foot painted black. On the shoulder
each side, myrtle wreath with berries, painted in white (that on the r. faded
away) ; below, all round, black and white bands. Spout in
form of jug as last, the jug left in the colour of the clay with
black on lip and band round body ; on the handle is placed
the r. hand of a woman, very rudely modelled except the
features, with rudimentary hands and feet, and details indis-
tinct ; all in the colour of the clay without slip or paint; she
wears a peaked cap and long garment, and her hair falls in
tresses on the shoulders.
C 975. JUG, similar. Ht. 12! in. From excavations at Amathus (Turner
Bequest), 1894; tomb 90. Excavations in Cyprus, p. 109, figs. 157-159.
At upper junction of handle each side, a disc. Deep red
slip ; black paint with white and crimson accessories, the white
