| Scope and Content |
A watercolour illustration of a large red vase with a horizontal handle on each side. Decoration in white includes a bulls head and double axe, and flowers around some holes in the side. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Bucket-shaped vase; the finest of the few M.M. III finds at Palaikastro. The ground is deep red, and the pattern, of flowers and bulls' heads, is carried out in white paint. The walls of the vase are pierced with holes and round these holes the flowers cluster in a way that suggests that the prototype of these vases was some sort of ritual pot or flower basket with flowers showing through holes in the sides as well as at the opening." |
