Description: | This pot from Cyprus is a Skyphos style pot that would have been used to pour water, wine or oil. Pots such as these would have been for everyday use, and were often quite simply decorated because of their utilitarian role. The skyphos is traditionally a flat-bottomed bowl with no brim, used as a drinking cup, but may also be a more jug-shaped vessel used for carrying water and other liquids.
SKYPHOS STYLE CUP, decorated inside with concentric circles in black and red, outside with wide black bands and Proto-Geometric devices. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Drink Decorative arts Archaeology | Temporal: | 8th cent BC | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
