Card base with fourteen images attached. The number 89 is pasted in the lower left corner. Each image (with the exception of 1936/01/03/10/03, which seems to have been viewed as a single object with 1936/01/03/10/04), has a pasted letter from a-m. Each object has a later annotation in biro giving bibliographic references. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Middle Minoan Pottery: Most of these vases came from the ossuaries, but a good many, with numerous fragments, from the earlier deposits in the town itself. a. Spouted jug with a fish in white paint: M.M. Ia. b. Polychrome cup which, in spite of is decoration, should probably be referred to the mature stage of the earlier M.M. Ia class. c, d, e, f, g, h, i. Middle Minoan I vases. h The small jar with a pattern of sprays, alternately red and white, on a black ground, shows a manner of decoration common at Palaikastro. This alternation of red and white, Evans regards as 'a very characteristic feature of the mature early M.M. Ia phase of this period.' This jar, (h) together with with (a) and (b), are to be regarded as the earliest of the vases shown. j, k, l, m. Middle Minoan cups: (l) has a bird fully modelled perched inside the cup; (k) has some such figure, now broken away." |
