Abstract

A fragment of Mycenaean pottery with pictorial decoration probably from a deep bowl krater, a chance find picked up at Berbati and previously in a Dutch private collection has been recently deposited in the Allard Pierson Museum, Amsterdam. It depicts, partly preserved, a bird in flight. No parallels for this can be cited from Berbati, Mycenae or Tiryns, but there are similar birds on shallow bowls from Cyprus and Ras Shamra. It is suggested that the new sherd demonstrates that these pots were all made in the North East Peloponnese.
