Abstract
Iron Age Cypriot Jugs THREE jugs of Iron Age date from Cyprus have been figured and described by James A. Stewart (Man, October 1940). These jugs are now in the Biblical Museum, Melbourne. Their provenance is unknown; but it is believed that they are derived from one of the cemeteries between Avios Jakovos and Enkomi. The first has an ovoid body with ring base and strap handle, buff clay and surface slip painted in black with red filling, showing a bird flying to the right, with a lotus bud before it. Eyes consisting of concentric circles appear on either side of the spout.
