LATE MYCENAEAN.
175
and A 959 belong to the very end of the period, as A 821, etc. For the panel decoration
see A 1075 from Mycenae. The false-necked jars A 923-4 and! the open bowls A 1018-9 are
in the same fine fabric]
A 957. OPEN BOWL. Ht. 4m. Tomb 2. Presented, 1870.
M.V., pi. Hi., 18 ; p. 7.
Shape as last ; reddish-brown clay, dull brown-
black varnish. On upper part of each side is a band
composed of four-fold lozenges. Inside base, a spiral
coil with central disc. (Fig. 238.)
A 958. QUADRUPLE BOWL. Ht. 3 in., 1. 8| in.
Tomb 7. Presented, 1S70. M.V., pi. hi., 23; p. 9.
Handle wanting'.
Light-yellow clay, no slip or paint. The
vase consists of four globular cups without
necks joined together in a square; a loop
handle, now broken away, stood across the top.
(Fig. 239.)
Fig. 239 = A 958
Fig. 240 = A 959.
A 959. DOUBLE BOWL. Ht. 2J in., 1. 7i in. Tomb35. Presented, 1872. M.V., Ip. l6,no. 59b.
Two cups, flatter than the last, with sharp shoulders and raised rims. Each
had two small loop handles on the
shoulder, and a handle stood across the
middle, as before ; this and one of the
small loops are broken away. Roughly-
made ware. Brown clay and dull brown-
black varnish. On the shoulders are
patterns composed of parallel straight
lines on chevron-stripes' running across
the band, with loops of scale-pattern and concentric curves attached to them or
to the bounding lines. (Fig. 240.)
A 960-8. Necked Bowls.
Globular body with ring-foot, high neck and lip turned outwards.
On the shoulder are two small loop handles of round section, set, as before,
with bases horizontal and loops slanting upwards. The design is similarly
placed in the shoulder-band which contains the handles ; above and below this
are girding-lines ; the neck is blacked outside and inside, the foot is edged with
varnish, the handles patched as last or barred or completely painted.
This form is also characteristic of the end of the Late Mycenaean period, and was
probably a new invention, although it may be connected-either with the jars A 992 from
el-Amarna (especially through the three-handled type A 968), or with the L.M. I bowls A 635,
A 755- The decoration of A 960-1, if not their fabric, might belong to the beginning of the
period as represented at el-Amarna. For its latest developments see A 970, note.
