From a Private European Collection This exciting piece is beautifully toned and extremely rare. Possibly unique. The Geometrice Era is characterized by the amalgamation of small settlements, from which the poleis later emerged. The era was named after the patterns on the newly emerging pottery and vase painting. This period also saw the adoption of the Phoenician alphabet, to which the Greeks added the missing vowels.
