Rounded ceramic, three handled pot. The handles rest on the shoulder of the vase and are facing upwards. On the handle there is a single raised clay strip, which is in a wavey patter and has smaller circles indented into it, the rest of the handle is completely smooth. On the neck of the vase there is the same raised strip with small indented circles which completely circles the neck. Directly below that design is a row of raised circles, on their own, with half an inch spacing in between them, they also go all the way around the vase. On the shoulder, at the same spot as the handles, there is another sequence of raised clay strip with indented cirlces, followed by individual raised cirlces, and closed in with another raised strip. Unlike the sequence before the raised cirlces are not directly next to one another, but off centered. In the half inch space between the cirlces there is the same raised strip design, set diagonally and zig zags all the way around the vase. On the belly of the vase there are seven roundels, each showing an image of the zodica signs: the sign for Libra is represented by scales, for Capricorn the image shows a goat with a tail of a fish (this image is show in two seperate roundels), for Taurus the image shows a bull with two stars above (also shown in two seperate roundels), the image of Cancer is a large crab that takes of the entire space of the roundel, lastly there is an image of Sagittarius which is represented by a centar holding a pulled back bow and arrow. Looking from right to left the sequence of the zodiac signs are Libra, Capricorn, Taurus, Cancer, Sagittatius, Capricorn and Taurus. At the very bottom of the belly there is another sequence, same as above the zodicas, of two raised clay stips with indented cirlce with individual raised circles in between with another set of raised strip with indented cirlces set in a diagonal design zig zagging between the cirlces. The base of the vase is smooth and written in black paint is " No. 444 Made in Greece"

Vase (2003.37.22)

Ceramic vase, glazed over to look like wood and decorated with cream paint with ancient scene. On the under side of the lip is a desgin with two parallel sets of lines with leaf like pattern in between. It almost goes completely around the vase, but the area right above the handles the pattern is not connected. The neck of the vase is empty of design except the bottom half inch. That design has the same two sets of parallel lines, the design in the center looks like three flowers on their side and the stem wrapping above it. Similar to the design on the lip it is on both side of the vase but does not connect at the handle. The handles themselves have two spots to but a hand in, one by the lip and another small one at the shoulder. There is a inch and a quarter piece of ceramic that seperates them. On that piece is a geometric design of a patter of eleven dots, each connected by a line; this is on both sides of the piece. The outer part of the handle also has a pattern that is Greek keyish. On one side of the stomach of the vase is a fight scene. Both men are in armor, same skirt to it, but the chest piece seems to be opposit to one another. Both in helmet although they are not the same: one Spartan like (right) and the other Corinthian (left). The have the same footwear as well as both holding spears. Another difference will be on the shield, same size but the one on the left has a criss cross patter on the edge while the one on the right has a wavy pattern. Under the two is another set of parallel lines., inbetween which are vertical lines that are in alternating pattern of not touching the top or bottom lines. On the other side of the stomach is another floral patter, same as on the bottom of the neck, where two flowers are shown on their side and have connecting stems. On the base of the vase ther is the exact same pattern as on the lip. One the very bottom is written "Hand Made in Greece No. 25"
