The deep skyphos (drinking cup), which is essentially in the shape of a miniature bell-krater, is one of the most notable shapes, together with the stirrup jar and kalathos, to survive on Crete from the Late Bronze Age. Examples occur at many Cretan Iron Age sites, including Vrokastro, Knossos, Kavousi, Erganos, and Tylissos.
