<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3085074, member: 88829&quot;]It seems to me this vessel was shown to us in another thread several days ago, which I cannot locate.&nbsp; It seemed then to show the decoration a bit better than here, but this is okay.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also from Amiran.&nbsp; I believe this style of decoration is more like what we see in plate 51 (for the LB period) than the style of decoration of the Iron II which tended to be sparse if painted and increasingly incised rather than painted.&nbsp; The decoration for numbers 4 &amp; 5 of plate 94 is quite unlike that here, and the handles on the sketched flasks are mounted up too high and are smaller in relation to the neck than in this case.&nbsp; However, for handle treatment and decoration this flask has a lot in common with plate 93, #7 from Abu Hawam, and number 3,4, &amp; 10, all from Farah.&nbsp; For decoration compare the flask from Farah in photo 278.&nbsp; Both plates 93 and 95 feature vessels from Iron I, which has more in common with the LB style of decoration (plate 51) and the prominence of the handles, if not the angle at which they attach to the neck.&nbsp; But as you say, it all depends upon which features catch your eye, on the object, and in the book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
