AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Double painted ceramic vase dating from the Bronze Age.
Elegant double-bodied kernos vase with a bridge handle, covered with a cream slip and decorated with black painted motifs. Kernoi are sets of offering cups composed of several small bowls intended for different offerings, joined together as a single piece and generally fitted with a handle.
Vases of this type were made in the eastern Mediterranean basin, particularly in Cyprus.
Although Red Polished Ware and its variants (Black Polished, Khaki, etc.) account for most of the ceramic production from the Middle Cypriot period through the middle of the Middle Bronze Age (MCIII), a few painted pieces are also found, with White Painted Ware by far the most significant.
Its production continued until around 1400 BC (well into the Late Bronze Age), after which the fairly similar White Slip Ware took its place.
Very well preserved — no restoration
