Bowl c. 1450

This Ancient Cypriot bowl, dating back to c. 1450, is a prime example of the geometric designs prevalent in Cypriot pottery. The bowl, which is now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, features a simple, elegant form decorated with a repeating pattern of brown lines and dots on a light beige clay. The geometric patterns likely represent the intricate and complex cultural practices of the ancient Cypriots, serving as a testament to their artistic skill and ingenuity.
