LATE MYCENAEAN. I 71
A 937. SIDE-SPOUTED JAR. Ht. 5 in. Tomb 38. Presented, 1872. M.V., p. 17, 65d.
Body nearly spherical ; pale brown clay, brown varnish. The upper half is
covered with varnish, except in a short accidentally reserved band beside the
spout.
A 938. SIDE-SPOUTED JAR. Ht. 4; in. Tomb 5. Presented, 1870. M.V., p. 9—"lamp."
Rough ware, but not primitive in appearance. Yellow clay, covered' with
red varnish, except a narrow reserved band on the shoulder.
A 939. SIDE-SPOUTED JAR. Ht. 4f in. Presented, 1870.
As last, originally covered with dead black varnish, except near the foot.
Part of the handle is lost.
A 940. SIDE-SPOUTED JAR. Ht. 5J in. Tomb 21. Presented, 1872. M.V., p. 13, 44c Plate X.
As last, but entirely covered with lustrous red-black varnish.
A 941. SIDE-SPOUTED JAR. Ht. 5 in. Tomb 38. Presented, 1872. M.V., p, 17, 65c.
As last, with varnish of lighter shade.
A 942. SIDE-SPOUTED JAR. Ht. 3! in. Tomb A. M.V., pi. ii., J 2; p. 6. Plate X.
Rough ware, covered with dull red wash ; globular body with narrow neck
and lip turned outwards, and vertical loop handle on one side ; on the side of
the shoulder at right angles to this is a narrow, tapered spout.
A 943. SIDE-SPOUTED TRIPLE JAR. Ht. 3^ in. ; 1. 4I in. Tomb A. Plate X.
The fabric is rough and the wheel does not seem to have been employed ;
deep brick-red clay, resembling that used for the braziers, with the surface
burnished. Three spherical jars, each crowned with a raised disc, imitating
gourds or fruit of which the stalk (in the centre of the upper side) has been
cut off square, are set in a triangle, with a wide communication at the points
of contact. One lobe has a tubular spout projecting outwards obliquely from
the shoulder, and from this lobe a flat loop handle springs, forming an arch over
the centre of the vase ; near its other extremity it bifurcates, attaching itself
to each of the other two lobes.
A 944- Conical Bowls.

The form is that of the cups, A 840, etc., with wide mouth and narrow base
and sides contracted in a hollow or double curve. Two round loop handles are
usually set horizontally below the lip, and on one side between these is sometimes
a bridged or open trough spout. Decorative patterns are applied on the flat rim
and in a broad band below the lip ; there are girding-bands below the handles
and at the foot, and lip and handles are edged with varnish.
This is a simple metallic form which was widely spread at a very early period (compare
the E.C. and E.M. cups A 322, A 435, and the Egyptian copper examples in Palace of Minos,
