A selection of Early Cycladic II ‘frying pans’ from the cemetery of Chaland
A selection of Early Cycladic II ‘frying pans’ from the cemetery of Chalandriani, Syros. All date to about 2800-2300 BCE. The 1st 'frying pan’ shows an incised representation of a paddled longboat set among stamped wave-like spirals. The 2nd, stamped wave-like spirals, the 3rd, impressed and incised wave-like spirals, and the 4th, a solar(?) decoration: incised circle and triangular motifs. The lower areas of each of the artifacts are thought to represent a female pubic triangle. Courtesy & currently located at the National Archaeological Museum, Athens.
