The objects are proto-white painted pottery, with abstract linear lines and drawings, and circlets. The design of the pots and vessels followed local traditions, but as an island with links stretching across the Eastern Mediterranean, Levantine and Aegean coasts, Cyprus was influenced by foreign ceramic fashions of the time. The beautiful concentric circles were reminiscent of the sun; careful horizontal and vertical lines intersecting each other forming a graphic landscape. -
