Reference No. 1936/1/1/1/5
Level Sub-item
Dimensions 6.3 x 9.7 cm
Scope and Content An illustration of a vase with a floral motif. Some parts are shaded with ink and lines while some are left with just the outlines of patterns: this indicates which fragments they had at the time of illustration. The lower two corners are angled, suggesting this was cut from something else to be used here. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Polychrome designs on vases of 'Kamáres' style (Middle Minoan: cf. 51, 52) imported from Crete to Melos about 1800 B.C.: white enhanced with other colours, on black slip."
