This large vase contained the ashes of a deceased person. Its entire surface is covered with bands of densely painted geometric motifs. Below the handles are two characteristic female figures wearing cylindrical hats and raising their arms in a gesture reminiscent of the well-known Cretan goddess. Their naturalistic heads contrast with the abstract treatment of their bodies, where the torso is rendered by a triangle and the skirt by a simple rectangle. This vase along with an Attic-style amphora from Fortetsa are the only examples of pottery of the Protogeometric II period (850-820 BC) with representations of humans.
