Description

A fine Cypriot bichrome ware juglet, dating to the Cypro-Archaic I–II period (c. 750–600 BC), featuring characteristic red and brown linear and geometric decoration on a buff slip. This small juglet, with its rounded body, short neck, and single handle, was likely used to store perfumed oils or cosmetics. Accompanied by two ceramic spindle whorls, which were essential tools in ancient textile production. These items reflect daily life and craftsmanship in early Iron Age Cyprus. Excellent archaeological interest with original pigment preservation.
