Marine style octopus jar, Palikastro (Crete), Greece. 1500 BCE. Minoan. 11" high pottery a hallmark of prehistoric art minoans responsibile for creating the potter’s wheel. allows for greater height, thinness, and gracefulness of form. last purely minoan style known marine style - dark figure on light round vessel. two toned and perfect combination of form and function. horror vacui - the fear of open space. very crowded with design elements. -- source link
