Pottery jug with a trefoil mouth, its dark body painted with pale figures of a bending man and a winged figure — Photograph: Swedish Cyprus Expedition, 1927–31. Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm, C02557a. Public domain (CC0).

Description

A jug with a flared, three-lobed mouth, a tall neck and a rounded body with a ring foot, photographed against a plain grey backdrop. The dark surface carries pale painted figures: a nude male figure in profile bends forward with an arm stretched out, beside a tall thin upright element, and a figure with wing-like drapery stands at the left edge. A round motif with a pattern sits above the bending figure.
