Red Polished IV

Also known as: Red Polished IV
Scope note: Red Polished IV was made in Cyprus from the beginning of the Middle Cypriot period and continued throughout the Middle Cypriot and into the Late Cypriot (c. 1850–1550 BC). It was manufactured in a variety of fabrics, usually buff or brown clay with a dull brown or red-brown slip. The decoration consisted of incised straight, zigzag or wavy lines. The classification system used is that outlined by Stewart (Dikaios and Stewart 1962, Index I, 303–56) and is based on form and decoration. Bibliography: Dikaios P. and Stewart J.R. 1962, 'The Swedish Cyprus Expedition Vol. IV/IA. The Stone Age and the early Bronze Age in Cyprus', Lund.
