Type III-l. Thin rounded bowl with slightly contracted mouth
41. K II room B (14-3-1472); Photo. A 2177, 2/5 and 2/6. Outside: bottom lost; row of
flowers, above which a row of birds with folded wings, facing to left, and in spaces
above are twigs; a hatched band. Inside: a somewhat similar design of birds and
flowers; a single line near the rim. Pl. 46.
42. K I room Z/2 (Su 442); Photo. A 921, 3/21. Inside: obscure design; hatched band above
as on outside of 41. Outside: obscure (Fig. 182, 6).
Type III-2. Thin rounded bowl, hemispherical (?)
43. K XVIII A, No. vii; Photo. A 2177, 3/9. Inside: on rim, band of herring-bone hatching;
two black lines. Outside: flower-calyx with geometrical markings between the points
of the petals. Pl. 46.
43a. See 56, below.
Type III-3. Thin rounded bowl with open rim-spout
44. K I trench HS (Su 251); Photo. A 921, 3/19. Inside: row of nymph, caer. flowers. Outside:
on rim, hatched triangles, pendent.
(d) Type IV. Hemispherical bowl with ledge-handles inform of duck’s head:
The hemispherical bowls with ledge-handles in the form of duck’s heads were small,
having a rim diameter of 9-11 cm. From the fragments I reconstruct the handle as showing
two duck’s heads, one on each end of the same neck, and I assume two such handles on
each bowl, one opposite the other (Fig. 182, no. 7). The decoration resembles that of the
bowls above.
45. K I trench 7 (Su 265). Inside: a black rim-band; a cross-hatched band; rest lost. Outside:
only the tips of petals show near the rim. Part of one handle; left half (Fig. 182, 7).
46. K I trench 9 (Su 310). Like 45, but from right half of handle; not from same bowl.
47. KII room B (14-3-1473); Photo. 2177, 3/3. Outside: tips of petals; neck of duck,
hatched with black lines; right half of handle. Pl. 46.
(e) Type V. Flat-bottomed cups:
The flat-bottomed cups were of three different forms: (1) wide-bottomed cups like the
pottery type, Painted I—III; (2) cylindrical cups with three or four feet, a form otherwise
found in stone vessels; and (3) cylindrical cups with rimless mouth, a form similar to the
ivory and wooden boxes (originating perhaps in the cylindrical form of sections of ivory
tusks and wooden trunks). In spite of the fact that I have grouped these varieties together,
owing to the form, it may well be doubted whether they served the same purpose. The
decoration, which was outside only, appears to have been geometrical in design and, except
for one example, to have been confined to the lower part of the side. Two examples had
no decoration whatever, and these were both of Type V-3.
Type V-l. Basket-shaped cups, Fig. 182, nos. 8, 9
48. K XIX, No. vii; Photo. A 2173, 1/1. Outside: net of four-pointed rosettes with intersti-
tial shading and dots; below, an outline block-border; above, a block-border. Holes
in rim (Pl. 47, 1, Fig. 182, 8).
49. K XIX, No. vii; Photo. A 2175, 2/4. Outside: at base, two black lines; two rows of
right-angled triangles set with short side up and shaded with vertical lines; the rest
apparently undecorated (Pl. 47, 2, Fig. 182, 9).
