Cypriot Bichrome Ware Amphora

A broad zigzag decorates the top of the rim of this Bichrome Ware amphora. The neck of the vessel is ornamented with a series of compass-drawn concentric circles with bands of varying widths above and below. Two additional zones of concentric circles encircle the shoulder, separated by two broad stripes. The body is decorated at its widest point by a zone of two broad stripes with eight thin stripes between, and the bottom of the body contains three additional thin stripes and two broad stripes. The handles are painted, and long vertical slashes descend from the base of each side of the handle onto the body below.
