80 EXPLORATIONS IN MOCHLOS
XXIII. c (fig. 20). White limestone pendant in shape of a
pyxis (height 1 cm., diameter 1.5 cm.).
OTHEB STONE VASES FROM THE CEMETERY
These vases were found scattered about on the main tomb slope
and apparently came from graves which had been completely
destroyed at an early period. Most of them belong to the class of
Early Minoan stone vases characterized by their hard materials and
fine workmanship, features which we have already noted in describ-
ing vases from undisturbed tombs of the E. M. period. The M (mis-
cellaneous) before the following catalogue numbers is introduced to
show that the vases so marked were not found in tombs but were
strewn about in the surface soil of the cemetery.
M. 1 (fig. 47). Small bowl of opaque green steatite (height
5 mm., diameter 3 cm.).
M. 2 (fig. 47). Small goblet of green steatite on a foot (height
4 cm., diameter 1.5 cm.).
M. 3 (fig. 47 and pl. II). Vase of grey and white marble (height
4 cm., diameter 2 cm.). This shape is typical of Vlth Dynasty
Egyptian stone vases. A similar vase was found at Porti in the
Messara by Dr. Xanthoudides in an E. M. deposit.
M. 4 (fig. 47). Small bowl of green steatite with hook handle
(height 1.7 cm., diameter 4.1 cm.).
M. 5 (fig. 47). Small idol of white marble (height 6 cm.). It
is very roughly made with no attempt at reproducing the features.
Similar idols were found in the tholos at Hagia Triada.1
M. 6 (fig. 47). Bowl of translucent green steatite with rim
spout and handle (height 2.5 cm., diameter 5 cm.).
M. 7 (fig. 47 and pl. II). Small goblet of red and orange
limestone (height 5.5 cm., diameter 4 cm.). This is a very curious
material and at first glance appears to be made of two separate
pieces of stone fastened together, so marked is the difference in
coloring of the halves.
M. 8 (fig. 47). Small bowl of green steatite with two rim
bandies (height 1.7 cm., diameter 4.6 cm.).
