Description
Hemispherical lebes (cauldron) with pair of arched handles on opposite sides, decorated at their highest point with a two-lobed lotus calyx from which the closed bud emerges. Imported product of a Cypriot workshop, repaired by a Cretan workshop at the base of one handle, due to the value of the artefact.
