PREHISTORIC AEGEAN POTTERY.

A 718.
rig. 156= a 715.
FALSE-NECKED JAR. Ht. 18 in. From Palaikastro.
Spout restored.
Red clay, with decoration of black painted bands,
three below the handles, one on foot and two above, and
one on base of spout and handles and on base and disc
of false neck. On the side of the shoulder opposite
the spout is a waved line in black, and on the handles
are oblique bars. (Fig. 156.)
[For the shape see A 891, etc., from Ialysos.]
FALSE-NECKED JAR. Ht. 4! in. From Crete, 1875. '"-'— ■■ "—y Plate IX-
Furtwangler and Loschcke, Myk. Vaseii, pi. xiv, 87, p. 24 ;
Bosanquet in Palaikastro, p. 82. Spout restored.
The body is almost globular. Light brown clay ;
brown-black varnish. The decoration occupies the upper part of the body and
is formed from conventional marine designs : three large fish, two murex shells,
three starfish or similar creatures represented by looped rosettes, and two small
rings of dots. Two narrow bands below the design and at the foot, and on
top of the false neck a thin spiral coil; handles edged.
[The shells are represented as tied together and hung by a
cord from false neck and handles. For the motive see A 881, note.]
FALSE-NECKED JAR, similar to last. Ht. 4I in. From
Crete, 1875. Furtwangler and Loschcke, Myk. Vaseu, pi. xiv,
84, 86, p. 24 ; Muller, Atlas zur Arch., pi. v. b, fig. 2, c;
Baumeister, p. 1939, fig. 2060.
Shape and fabric exactly as last, and similar
marine design : on one side, a conventional cuttlefish,
on the other a nautilus. In the field are circles, rings
of dots and cross-hatched lozenges. (Figs. 157, 158.) rig- is7 = a7i7.

Loschcke, Myk. Vasai, pi. xiv, 85, p. 24. Spout and handles restored.
Shape as A 716, but flattened. Yellow clay, with lustrous surface of the same
colour, and designs in bright red varnish. On one side of the shoulder is a
conventional nautilus'; on the other, two triangles with hatched angles. Three
thin bands below design and one on foot.
