Cypriot Juglet, middle Bronze age, Circa 2000 B.C.-1650 B.C.
Belongs to the Black-Drab polished ware tradition, possibly from the South or
South West of the island where Drab polished wares occured widely in this period.
These wares were hand-made giving a unique style to each pot. The nipple to
the front was most likely made to assist in holding the jug being used to pour
out its' contents. The jug is intact and still retains most of the original
white painted decoration.
Condition - Very good, intact, a nice example, No restoration
or repair
Provenance;
Property of an English private collector, Mr F of Surry ( 1909 - 1984 ), acquired
in the 1960s
