LATE MYCENAEAN; I 77
A 968. NECKED BOWL, with three handles. Ht. 35 in. Tomb 13. Presented, 1870. Plate
' M.V., pi. vi., 33; p. 11. One handle wanting. . XIV.
Form as A 960, but with three handles. Brown clay, dull brown-black
varnish. Between each pair of handles, in the shoulder-band, is a single spiral
coil springing to left, its centre filled in with cross-hatching.
A 969. NECKED BOWL, with three handles. Ht. 7I in. Tomb 12. Presented, 1870. Plate^
M. V., pi. iv., 2-6 ; p. 10.
Form as last, but taller. On the level of the handles, which are set just
above the middle of the body, is a reserved band edged on both sides with
minute loops. Foot, neck and handles are painted black ; towards the foot is
a blank space, and on the rest of the body are very thin lines closely set, with
thicker bands at intervals. Light brown clay, dull brown-black varnish.
A 970. NECKED JAR, with two handles. Ht. ioi in. Tomb 12. Presented, 1870. M.V., Plate XI.
pi. iv., 25 ; p. 10.
Shape as last, but still taller, with elongated body, tall, narrow neck, and
two heavy handles. Reddish clay with lighter slip and metallic red-black
varnish. On the shoulder is a broad band containing the handles ; in the space
on each side are three vertical stripes composed of a waved line drawn over
sets of straight lines. The neck is completely painted ; on the flat lip are three
groups of radiating bars ; on the rest of the body are groups of plain bands ; on
the handles, bars ; and at each handle-base is painted a curved stripe.
[This vase, which has the same shape as A 1023 from Calymnos, and similar fabric and
decoration to that and A 1024, is one of the latest pieces of Mycenaean pottery from Ialysos.
Its form is immediately derived from the preceding" necked bowls, and is closely connected
through the Sub-Mycenaean jars (A 1123-5) with the typical Geometric amphora (A1107).]
FROM CARPATHOS AND COS (A 971 -A 979).
The seven vases from Carpathos were said to have been found in one tomb.
They are actually a homogeneous group of fairly early type and mostly of the
same fabric, which is distinguished by a soft yellow slip on rougher red clay, like
Cretan pottery of the same period (A. 720, etc.) Some of their designs are also
in the Cretan ' close style.'
, A small bronze sword of mature L.M. Ill form, with ivory-filled flanged cruciform hilt,
was found in the same tomb {J.H.S., viii (18S7), p. 449, pi. lxxxiii, 3 ; B.M. Cat. Bronzes, 46 ;
