Cypriote - Bichrome Ware Jug with Geometric Design and Concentric Circles - Walters 482347

This example of the popular pinched-spout jug is decorated with red paint on a pale background and is called Bichrome Ware. There were two distinct styles of this ceramic ware in Cyprus at this time: the "rectilinear," which features triangles, diamonds, and rectangles, was common in the eastern and southern regions of the island; the "circle" style, shown here, with groups of concentric circles, was found mostly in the western and northern areas.
