## Image Caption

The term "[Mycenaean](https://www.worldhistory.org/Mycenaean_Civilization/)" is derived from the site of [Mycenae](https://www.worldhistory.org/mycenae/); it refers to the [culture](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/culture/) of [Greece](https://www.worldhistory.org/greece/) during the Middle and Late [Bronze](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/bronze/) Ages. Mycenaean imports greatly increased around 1400 BCE and were mostly stirrup vessels, pyxides, and piriform jars. Mycenaean pots were prized for their high quality. They were decorated with simple geometric patterns painted while turning on the wheel, using paints that lend a lustrous look to the vessel after firing. Late [Bronze Age](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Bronze_Age/), 1550-1200 BCE. From Tabaqat Fahl and Tal al-Sa'idiyya, [Jordan](https://www.worldhistory.org/Jordan/). (The Jordan Museum, Amman, Jordan).
