MACEDONIA.

rough lattice in dull brown colour ; the rest are plain. No, 8 is more elaborate : a flat loop is
inserted, with ends together, into a cleft in the rim, from which a curved piece springs on
each side of the joint. Apparently handmade ; brown clay with red-washed and polished
surface. (Fig. 28.)

A 96l-3. HANDLES. L. 4I in., 5! in., 5 in. Light brown clay, unpolished. No. 1 from a hemi-

spherical bowl, as A 78 ; the top of the handle is expanded into a large disc. No. 2 is a rod
handle in the same line as the wall of the bowl, with ring at end for suspension ; 3 is similar,
but curved outwards, and has a flattened end pierced with a small hole. (Fig. 28.)

Handles, Macedonia.

FRAGMENTS with large spiral coils. L. 7^ in. to if in'. Nos. 1-2 from Kalamaria,
3-9 from a village mound near Langavuk. From globular jars decorated with large spiral coils
drawn in broad bands of rough parallels and with lines of dots exactly as A 76. Dark brown
and reddish ware, with polished surface and irregular incisions ; thin, but of poorer quality
than the preceding pieces. The incised lines are filled in some places with white chalk, but
this seems to be accidental, not a decorative application, for in other places the chalk is
thickly plastered over the whole surface. (B.S.A., xxiii, pi. II, 1, 3, 5.)

FRAGMENTS with rope-pattern. L. 4 in., 3 in. Excavated with Mycenaean sherds at
Mikra by Captain Osborne, R.N. From lips of large jars ; wheel-made, rough brown ware,
each with a raised band below the lip moulded with round impressions as in A 246, etc.,
from Thessaly. '
