Maja Miše

Abstract

At the Archaeological Museum at Split there are forty-one vases that belong to Greek and Hellenistic pottery (4th-1st century BC). The Museum aquired them between 1897 and 1949, without much
contextual data. The complete vases may belong to grave goods. Vases from Knežine (nos. 1-4, 11, 13, 14, 30 and 40) and from Garmice (nos. 26 and 29) are from graves.

Two lekanis (nos. 1-4) are of red figured style and are close to similar ones at Issa and in South Italy. Most of the vases listed here belong to black gloss pottery (nos. 6-29) standard and of local
production. Unguentarium no. 23 may be an import from Greece proper. Nos. 28. and 29 are lamps.

Lebes gamikos, two pelikai, fragment of a pelika and an oinohoa (nos. 30-34) belog to Gnathia style and are close to the local production of these vases at neighbourning Issa. To plain ware belong an lebes gamikos (no. 35) and unguentari (nos. 36-41).
