LATE MYCENAEAN.
189
FROM CALYMNOS (A 1001-A-1024).
These vases were obtained and presented by W. R. Paton in 1886.
According to information given to him locally, they were found (except A 1013
and A 1015) in a group of tombs near Pothia in the island of Calymnos.
They are not all of the same date : most belong to the end of the Mycenaean age, but
some, which are noted below, seem to be hardly later than its middle. The whole group may
therefore be assigned, like the later vases from Ialysos, to the second half of this period, Late
Mycenaean B.

•Cylindrical body with convex base and sloping shoulder, as A 815 from
Ialysos, but the neck is high and curves outwards at the lip. Yellow clay and
black varnish turning to bright red. On the lower part of the shoulder, between
the handles, is a band containing alternate triangles filled with chevrons and
groups ofvertical'lines. On body, plain bands; beneath the base, two rings of
concentric circles.

Light brown clay; the varnish is dull brown-

vertical lines alternating with concentric semicircles,
which are attached to the upper border of the band.
High neck ; one side of lip and shoulder is restored.
