closely resembling the Oriental ibrik, which serves an ewer
for pouring and sprinkling water. Vessels of this shape
form the principal type of a class of Mycenaean gems
specially common in Eastern Crete (see below, p. 370), sometimes fitted
with a conical cover like Persian ewers of the same kind. The curving
