Terracotta krater

Cypriot

Not on view

The shape and decoration of this krater are derived from Aegean models of the Mycenaean IIIC:1b period. Manufacture in Cyprus of this type of pottery may be associated with the settlement of Achaeans from the Aegean at this time. The two zones between the handles were painted over in black, which gives the false impression of bichrome decoration.
