Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to pottery styles from the island of Thera, typified by vases found at the site of Akrotiri. Through time the style varied, including early designs that are strictly geometric and linear, and later ones that combine pictorial and geometric motifs. Typical subjects include crocuses, lilies, papyrus, palm trees, goats, fish, swallows, seagulls, and dolphins. It appears that particular designs were used only on specific types of vases, perhaps serving as labels for their contents.
