Mycenaean objects from the National Museum in Warsaw

Abstract

Among the collection of antiquities in the National Museum of Warsaw there is a group of Mycenaean vases and a Mycenaean "phi" idol. There is also a small collection of Mycenaean sherds belonging to the Museum Śląskie deposited in the National Museum. The aim of this paper is to publish the sherds, the idol and to publish or re­publish the vases (some of them were published in CVA but in inadequate way). The origin of the vases and the idol is generally unknown. They all date to LH IIILA­B periods (with exception of a few sherds which may be LH IIIСе) and do not present especially interesting features, although there is among them a three-legged basket vase of the shape known from Southern Rhodes only, and motive from sherd is which is very rare.
