Cypriot Small horn-lug bowl: Early Cypriot I (2300-2200BC)
Red Polished I-II ware (Black Topped). Horn-lug bowls are characteristic of Early Cypriot I in the North, especially Vounous. Often, as here, they have a black top and interior created by a reducing atmosphere in the kiln.
Small, hemispherical bowl with rim extended vertically and up-tilted horn lug pierced at the base. Red polished slip with black rim and interior. Intact, small surface damage.
