CVA: Cypriote Vessels from the Bronze and Iron Period

From the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna all completely preserved Cypriote vessels, these are nine from the Bronze period and 126 from the Iron period, as well as all attic- protogeometric, attic-geometric, and protoattic ceramics, which is a small number of 19 complete vessels and one big fragment of an amphora, will be presented in this volume. Most of the objects included in his Corpus will be published for the first time. In this scientific series, the objects from museum collections will be presented according to standardized principles. The provenance and measurements are followed by a description of the material, shape, decoration, and depiction; a precise as possible range of date concludes this part and is followed by a scientific commentary regarding shape, depiction and possibly also technical aspects of the production or further observations. The graphical presentation in the Annexes (Beilagen) is the result of the measuring of the vessels by 3D scans. The comprehensive part of plates pictures the vessels from each side and where required outlines details of figures or technical details. The entire Cypriote, Attic Geometric, and Protoattic ceramics from the Kunsthistorischen Museum Wien is published with this volume. The accurate description and graphical documentation of the 155 vessels opens up new perspectives to researchers on these nearly unknown material.
