Description
English: Clay 'frying pan' with incised decoration of a boat among spiral-formed waves and a public triangle above the handle.

Their decoration bears symbolic religious or magical meaning suitable for ritual vessels. From Chalandriani on Syros. Early Cycladic II period (Keros-Syros culture) 2800-2300 B.C. Inv. no. 4974. National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Textː Museum inscription.
