Cypriot Jug with cut-away spout and nipple base.: EC I-II ? (1300-2100 BC)

Red Polished  I-II Ware.  Complete, good condition

This jug, similar to 13 and 19, is a small version of EC jugs derived from flat bottomed Philia shapes (see 8). The spout suggests EC I-II but the handle should be a flatter loop for that period, and the lower neck normally wider.

Cf. Dikaios & Stewart 1962, LV (11,14), LVI, LXI (2); British Museum 1939,0217.28
