Name:	Cypriot Globular Jug with Trefoil Mouth
Picture:
Description:	H. 30cm. Handle and back of mouth missing; large area under the remains of the handle, extending to the right side, is covered with greyish-brown accretion. Paint is faded in some areas. Bichrome ware in concentric circle style. The mouth is pinched; horizontal black bands decorate the short straight neck. The large globular body rests on a ring base. Various parts of the body are indented to some degree: the area around the base of the handle, the same area on the opposite side of the vase, as well as several other areas in the main decoration of the body. This is probably accidental. Decoration on both sides consists of concentric circles in black paint, the two widest bands filled in with red. Two concentric circles adorn the region below the handle; below the mouth are three concentric circles.
Date:	Iron Age, possibly Late Cypriot-Geometric, c.
Discussion:	See Morris pls. 34, 85 for vases identical in shape and designated as 'Iron Age'; CA # 515 for an example from the Cypro-Archaic period (750-600 B.C.). As the decoration on this example lacks the more developed style of closer spacing and large stylized motifs found on the Archaic jugs, an earlier date is likely.
