Pottery Levanto-Helladic Ware Amphora-Crater (E.17.1)
Description
A two-handled vessel with a wide body, a flared foot and a broad rim, photographed upright against a plain pale background. The body is painted in dark outline with a large octopus whose long tentacles spread across the surface, and a bird with a long neck appears at the left edge. A band of small scalloped pattern runs below the rim, and dark bands encircle the lower body above the foot.
