Despotiko Black incised vase, Early Cycladic I
This ceramic vase draws inspiration from the ancient treasures of the Early Cycladic I era (3200-2800 BC), particularly the grave offerings discovered on Despotiko Island near Antiparos, now housed in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Featuring a double cone (amphiconical) design adorned with herringbone incised decorations, this piece beautifully captures the essence of a bygone civilization, making it a unique and timeless addition to any decor.
