In the Bichrome Ware, at the early Iron Age of Cyprus, patches of lines of reddish-brown paint were added to the black, on the pale background. Two styles of painting are prevalent: the rectilinear and the circle. The rectilinear style was more diffused in the eastern and southern regions of Cyprus, the circle one is found mainly in the western and northern areas. -
