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 one-third 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., A round, shallow bowl viewed from above with a pale beige surface showing areas of darker beige and light brown wear, decorated with a cross-like pattern of parallel thin stripes in a muted brown-gray, and a few small darker marks and scratches; there is a small reddish-brown square patch adhered near one side and a few faint pencil or charcoal lines; the background is a uniform light gray.
