Vessels of the Geometric period (900-700 BCE) are easily recognisable by their abstract decorative designs, which originate from woven textiles and baskets. While early period pottery typically had sparse geometric motifs on a black background, the amount of decoration increased progressively to the point that the objects from the late Geometric period are often entirely covered - in this example, even the strap handle is decorated.
