Scope and Content |
Card base with eight images of pottery/fragments: four watercolour illustrations, two black and white ink illustrations, and two black and white photographs. The number 6 is pasted in the bottom left corner, and each image is labelled in pencil a-h. To the right of images b, c, d, and e (1936/01/01/02/02-05), and under image h (1936/01/01/02/08) are later annotations in biro giving bibliographic references. A faint line is visible dividing the paper in half vertically. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Naturalistic designs, mostly floral, on Middle Cycladic pottery, dated by the Polychrome imports (1c-h) above: black, enhanced with red, on buff: compare Case A 36-38. Note the frequent crocus and grasses; the daisy-bowl; the geese among marsh-plants (7e) and flowers (7f); the flying swallow; and the varied uses of spiral ornament." |
