Vogel
850 - 750 v. Chr.
Straight vertical to slightly convex sides, carination at lower part of body and shoulder, short out-curved collar rim, two opposed, raised, horizontal loop handles on shoulders, the base of which project in relief along the whole length of the vertical sides of the vase, ring base. Side A is divided into four panels by horizontal and vertical black lines. The main central panel is decorated with a bird facing to the right. It has a circular body in double outline, filled with solid red paint and two raised triangular wings, filled with linear patterns. Long curved neck in outline, semi-circular feathered tail enclosing a swastika, solid bent legs. Above the panel with the bird there is a narrow panel containing a horizontal frieze of diamonds filled with lattice pattern. The two vertical narrow panels along each handle are decorated with linear motifs. The panel on the left has a vertical chain of diamonds containing two connected small latticed diamonds with six swastikas symmetrically arranged in the background. The other panel is decorated with two vertical rows of horizontal zigzag lines. Side B is decorated with a horizontal chain of three double-outlined diamonds with solid triangular tails containing smaller latticed diamonds in a checkered arrangement. Among the large diamonds, along the lower part of this zone, there are four latticed triangles with symmetrically arranged swastikas above them. Along the upper part of the zone there are three double-sided “comb” motifs symmetrically arranged. Horizontal bands of black and red paint on the shoulder on the lower part of the body, on foot and on handles. Concentric circles on the base with a red disc in the center.
