PREHISTORIC AEGEAN POTTERY.
A933-
42.
Side-spouted Jars.
A globular body with contracted neck, a flat loop handle usually arched
across the splayed mouth, and a narrow tubular spout slanting upwards from the
shoulder. There is usually a ring-foot. Spout, neck and handles are blacked ;
there is sometimes a band of decorative pattern on the level of the base of the
spout bordered with girding-bands of thin between thick lines ; but these vases
are commonly more or less covered with a simple wash of varnish.
The shape is probably universal : the side-spout was a typical E.M. feature (A 434, etc.)
which persisted in later forms (Gournia, pi. II, 38, 50) ; there are two tapered spouts in the
M.M. II fragments from Kahun (A 551), and it appears also among the early pottery of Troy
(S.S., 391, 555), and in the Yortan group (A 24). This fully developed form is characteristic of
the Late Mycenaean period.
A 933. SIDE-SPOUTED JAR. Ht. 3-i in. Presented, 1870. Spout
wanting.
Apparently hand-made: the shape and surface are
irregular, though the clay is smooth. There is no foot.
Pale brown clay ; decoration in black varnish, which has for
the most part faded. Round the middle is a broad band
containing groups of oblique lines, that on the left of each
group being toothed. (Fig. 232.)
A 934. SIDE-SPOUTED JAR. Ht. 4! in. Tomb A. M. V., p. 6, no. 1
Fine wheel-made fabric. Yellow clay with lustrous
surface on which is painted decoration in red-black
varnish. On a level with the spout is a broad band
filled with a series of slightly-curved nearly-vertical
bars. On the summit of the handle is a large eye-
shaped ornament of concentric circles within a pointed
oval. Towards mouth and foot, three groups of thin
bands, bordered with thick. (Fig. 233.)
[Fpr the decorative pattern see note following A 900. Its
occurrence at el-Amarna indicates an early date for this vase.]

Tomb 21. Presented, 1872. M.V., pi. xi., 66; Plate

Similar to last, but the band on the shoulder is filled with hanging-
groups of concentric semicircles, alternating with standing groups of triangles
one within another. On the handle, thin bars.

Flattened body ; light brown clay, brown varnish. The shoulder-band is
blank, and bordered with bands of thin lines edged with thick.
