Geometric

Period c. 900–700 BC
Collection 973 vases
The earliest Greek painted pottery style, characterised by abstract geometric patterns — meanders, zigzags, hatched triangles — and eventually stylised figures of mourners and warriors. The great Dipylon vases of Athens are the masterpieces of this tradition.
