Description: | White painted ware - eyelet style juglet. Has a damaged pedestal style base, an elongated ovoid body with a high marked shoulder, narrow cylindrical neck tapering to a pinched mouth (trefoil mouth) one fold of which has broken off. There is also a vertical handle which is almost square in section that runs from the shoulder to the rim of the juglet.
Decoration in a brown paint has been mostly worn off but some decoration can still be made out. 3 veritcal sets of bands are spaced out around the body with horizontal bands both above and below with a similar smaller pattern on the shoulder. Bands on the neck and on the mouth of the juglet can be seen a circle with a dot in the centre, representing the eye that gives the juglet its name 'eyelet style juglet'.
Similar examples can be seen in Lubsen-Admiraal, Ancient Cypriot art (2004) pg 123, which date to 1650 BC.
Possibly an imitation syrian eye juglet V-VI C.
Paper iside juglet says ' 300 - 30 BC. Prof Mayres. Found in Cyprus. Dept. Class. Arch.'
