EXPLORATIONS IN MOCHLOS 25
II. c (fig. 7). Small bowl of pink, white and grey breccia (height
2 cm., diameter 4.5 em.).
II. d (fig. 7 and pl. II). Small bowl of opaque green steatite of
very fine quality. Of the various stones employed in making
these Mochlos vases this species of steatite is capable of taking the
highest polish. It seems to have been a rare material, for only
seven examples of it occurred and these are all of small size (height
4.5 cm., diameter 6.4 cm.).
II. e (fig. 7 and pl. II). Small vase and cover in the same
material as the preceding (height 7 cm.). This shape is certainly
new to Crete. It resembles the "Art Nouveau" vases of the
present day and has a decidedly modern look.
11./ (fig. 7). Cup of grey and white marble which recalls in
shape the clay cups of the M. M. I period (height 4.8 cm., diame-
ter 4 cm.).
II. g (fig. 7). Shallow bowl of the same material as No. 11,/
(height 3.8 cm., diameter 11.9 cm.). This marble is of harder
quality than that usually employed for the Mochlos vases.
II. h (fig. 7 and pl. II). Cup of translucent green steatite on a
foot (height 5.8 cm., diameter 3.£ cm.). This shape is derived from
the E. M. II "egg cups."l The incised design recalls the sub-neo-
lithic ware of the same period.
II. i (fig. 7). Small spouted bowl of coarse white limestone with
three knob handles (height 3 cm., diameter 3.2 em.).
II. j (fig. 7 and pl. II). Vase of plain dark grey steatite, a stone
which rarely appears in the cemetery (height 7 cm., diameter 4.3
cm.). This vase shows analogies, in shape, with Egyptian vases.
II. k (fig. 7 and pl. II). Little pot of translucent green steatite
(height 4 cm., diameter 2.5 cm.).
II. I (figs. 7, 13). Clay saucer of E. M. II dark-on-light geo-
metric ware (height 3.7 cm., diameter 14.8 cm.).
II. m (fig. 7 and pl. II). Tiny bowl of clear yellow alabaster
with two lip handles (height 2 cm., diameter 3.5 cm.). This'material
is rare.
II. n (fig. 7). Small bowl of translucent steatite (height 2.2 cm.,
diameter 3.6 cm.).
