| Scope and Content |
A watercolour illustration of a black vase with three visible handles, with decoration of red and white fronds. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Middle Minoan I vases... The small jar with a pattern of sprays, alternately red and white, on a black ground, shows a manner of decoration common at Palaikastro. This alternation of red and white, Evans regards as 'a very characteristic feature of the mature early M.M. Ia phase of this period.' This jar, (h) together with with (a) and (b), are to be regarded as the earliest of the vases shown." |
