Pottery Bichrome IV, Amphora-Crater. Cyprus Museum

Description

A large two-handled vessel stands upright on a plain light background. Its tall flaring neck is covered with bands of diamond, lozenge and triangle patterns, and a frieze of pendant motifs runs across the shoulder beneath the two loop handles. Horizontal bands encircle the rounded body, which narrows toward the base, and shading in the photograph makes some of the painted detail hard to read.
