Cypriot Bichrome Ware

Cypriot bichrome ware, although produced in Cyprus, is found mainly in southern Levantine mainland sites. Unlike the Cypriot ceramics tradition, this ware is wheel-made. Cypriot bichrome is characterized by its most common decoration: two black lines with a red line in between them. Between those lines geometric, floral or zoomorphic decorations would often appear.
