Jug, unknown Cypriot workshop. White painted ware jug with a spherical bottom, a bulging pear-shaped body transitioning in the upper part into two tubular spouts with protruding walls. Between them, a ring-shaped vise protrudes from the body. The vessel is covered with white paint and decorated with brownish-red paint. A zigzag ornament runs around the body for 1/3 of the vessel's height, flanked on each side by two horizontal lines. Below are four bands of lines converging at the bottom. The upper part of the body is decorated with four stripes filled with diagonal, intersecting lines; the stripes are separated by serpentine winding lines. The vise is decorated with diagonal lines at the top and brown paint on the sides. At the base of the rims, a zigzag ornament is framed by two lines on either side; above it, vertical lines surround the rims both inside and outside. Bronze Age, 1900–1650 BC, Cyprus. Vessel; height 15 cm, width 13 cm., An off-white rounded ceramic vessel with a single curved handle and a tapered spout, decorated with banded geometric patterns in brown and dark gray; the body shows alternating panels filled with crosshatch and plain areas separated by wavy vertical lines, a horizontal decorative band encircles the lower portion, and the handle and spout feature linear stripe motifs, all set against a neutral gray background.
