Scope and Content An illustration of a vase with two handles and a spout, with a pattern in several colours on it. Several sections are a paler colour, which may indicate these were not parts of the original fragments found but added to complete the vase before painting or imagined by the artist. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Conventional designs on vases of Late Minoan I and II styles a-d are native imitations in local clay."
