M.M. Ill: THE SNAKE GODDESS AND RELICS 523
A parallel fragment, in this case belonging to a flat-bottomed basin, Clay
showing rock-work and a triton shell in relief, is given in Fig. 381. Vessels with
of this latter type, decorated with subjects of this nature, reproducing the ^jF^
familiar forms of the sea-shore and its rocky pools may have been actually Perhaps
used as dishes to serve frutta di mare fresh for the delectation of the Palace ri^T
gourmets. The whole class of terra-cotta vessels with marine reliefs belong-
ing to the last Middle Minoan Period, coupled with similar reliefs on steatite
vessels, has a very important bearing on the ceramic repertory of the suc-
ceedino- L. M. I Period in which the reproduction of similar designs of sea
creatures amidst rocks are executed on the flat in the familiar brown on buff
technique.
