(Greek Pottery from c1050bce)

‘The repertoire consisted largely of horizontal bands and lines, often in groups of two or three, and concentric circles or semi-circles applied with compasses and a multiple brush. These simple patterns led to the more varied designs of the ensuing Geometric style, so this period is usually called Proto-geometric.

‘The patterns themselves were found all over Iron Age Europe, but their organisation on the vase was peculiar to Greek art.’
