4 E. Sjoquist, in Problems of the Late Cypriot Bronze Age, 42, has the lines in groups only ‘roughly parallel’ but this is not so.

5 The vase quoted by Kiibler in Kerameikos, I, 141 as a Mycenaean example of the use of a compass and with multiple brush is from a Geometric grave; see Archaiologike Ephemeris, 1891, 27, pl. 3.1.

7 Cf. Palace of Minos, 1, 593. Furumark’s explanation of the technique in Mycenaean Pottery, 423 f. cannot be correct.

8 Desborough, in Protogeometric Pottery, 62, 136, 190, remarks on the use of the same multiple brush on different vases. It is not used for hatched patterns as on the vases, ibid., pls. 6 top left, 8 centre.

9 Some of the earliest examples of free-hand use seem to be on vases such as those shown in Kerameikos, V, I, pls. 30-1, 44.
