A 931. FALSE-NECKED JAR. Ht. 8| in. Presented, 1870. M.V., pi. iv., 27A-B ; p. 10.
Dumontand Chaplain, Ceram., pi. iii., 8.
Spherical body with small spout and handles.
Yellow clay, dull red-black varnish. The circle
of design extends unusually low, occupying
nearly half the body. From the spout runs on
either side a broad waved band, the opposed
curved extremities joined on the opposite side in
a kind of palmctte. Within the waves are one
large and two small rosettes on each side. The
triangular space between the bands at the spout
is filled with hatching, loops and ladder-patterns ;
in the other angles are similar figures. On the
lower part of the body are plain bands; the top Fig. 230 = a 93i.
of the false neck is painted on the edges so as to
leave a reserved rectangle in the middle, the handles are edged. (Fig- 230.)

Spherical shape, as last; soft yellow clay and red-black varnish. A narrow
band containing alternate half-discs encloses the space around handles and
spout. Within this handle-ring are hatched curves between tongues. On the
body, below the spout, is a conventionalised cuttle-
fish, with four fringed tentacles, and eyes repre-
sented by concentric circles. Two short tentacles
rise upwards, one on each side, and overlapping
the border terminate in a spiral coil on either
side of the spout. Two other tentacles below
pass in a broad wavy sweep round to the back of
the vase, where they join up in a loop which
suggests the body of another cuttle-fish ; this
loop is filled in with a vertical row of bordered
lozenges, closed above with a strip of the alternate
half-disc motive. On the left of this in the field
is a long-necked bird, legs in outline and body in
outline hatched. The false neck and spout are Fig. 231 =-A 932.
connected by a loop ; on top of the false neck,
which has its centre slightly raised, is apparently a spiral coil. (Fig. 231.)
[The last fifteen examples of these jars (except perhaps A 923-4, which belong- to a
peculiar fabric) with A 908, A 914-5, bear the marks of the very latest Mycenaean style, as A 821,
A 883 among the preceding vases from Ialysos and many of the following numbers. The
ground no longer has a clear light colour and the varnish has lost its lustre ; for the new
motives of decoration see A 1078, etc., from Mycenae.]
