examples have two handles. The sharp edges of the cylindrical body are each
marked with a broad band of varnish, neck and lip are varnished and all these
are sometimes also bordered with thin bands, and the handles are painted black.
On the base are usually two rings of concentric circles.

This is a rectilinear version of the preceding shape : an alabaster example was found at
Enkomi in Cyprus. It begins in the same period, but seems to have lasted longer. The
early form is flat and sharp ; its latest development (A S21) shows a similar elongation of body
and neck, and rounding of base, and the substitution of the conventional two handles for the
original three.

Flat, stiff shape ; pale yellow clay, faded brown varnish. Round the body is
a band of detached spiral coils, the end of each rising to the top of the band and
descending in a sharp loop to the base line. On the shoulder are similar spirals.

Similar to last, except that on the shoulder
groups of three horizontal waved lines with closed
ends take the place of the spiral coils. (Fig. 190.)

Taller body, and convex base ; brown clay with perished surface. On the

Roughly made-; the form has lost its original flatness, and the development
of a neck has begun. Pale reddish clay ; the decoration consists of a band of
thin cross-hatching on the shoulder between the handles, and on the body a
broad black band at top and bottom with a wash of the black varnish thinned to
transparent brown in the space between. On the base, concentric circles.

The vase consists of two small bowls similar
to preceding, joined together. A loop handle
stood- across the middle, but is broken away.
Owing to the joint, the jars have only two small
handles each, and these are in one case destroyed,
with part of the lip. Brown clay ; decoration as
