Anotations

Scope note:

Bronze Age terracotta or earthenware vessels with a series of smal cuplike forms attached, either clustered in the center or around the upper edge of a bowl. The receptacles probably contained foodstuffs of various kinds or perhaps of flowers, intended for ritual offerings. Although the kernos was used in widely disparate regions during the prehistoric period, particularly impressive examples have come to light in the Cyclades.
