Cypriot Black-Topped Tulip-Shaped Bowl — The dense incised decoration is infilled with white paste in order to create a chromatic effect.

Bowls of this type were probably used for carrying liquids, while their round bases indicate their setting in hollows in the floor.

Red polished I-II ware. From Cyprus, Early Cypriot I-II Period (2300-2100 BCE). Made from clay. (Hellenic Museum, Melbourne, Victoria).
