The Fikellura pottery style, named after a modern place on Rhodes, was produced in the southern part of the East Greek region from the second quarter to the end of the sixth century B.C. In most cases, the body of the vase was divided into zones. At first, the zones included men and animals, as on this example; later, they were confined to vegetal and linear decoration.
