Halbkugelförmige Schalen

1625 - 1450 v. Chr.

The small composite vessel was probably used cultically. Vessels composed of multiple basic forms are very frequent in Cypriote pottery. The composite vessel consists of four small, semi-globular bowls, connected in an irregular rectangle. Underneath, a protruding, round connecting bridge; opposite on the top, a high, vertical, wide handle with a rectangular opening in the upper third. The character of the clay and the glaze suggest that this vessel should be classified as base-ring ware; within this type it represents a singular form. There are parallels to it in red polished ware.
