The Mycenaean Pottery in the Sadberk Hanım Museum

Öz

Six examples of Mycenaean pottery in the Sadberk Hanım Museum collection, were produced for transportation and seven of them for service purposes. Sim-ilar to the stirrup jar no.1 and no. 2 in which olive oil was preserved, were commercially marketed over a wide geographic area in the LH IIIA2-IIIB periods. While the examples of the feeding bottle left in children’s graves of two types are included in the collection, the feeding bottle no. 3 and no. 4 must have been produced in local workshops during the LH IIIC period. Similarly, the kylix no. 5 is the product of the same period. The piriform jars in the collec-tion show elements characteristic of its LH IIIA2 period counterparts. The squat alabastrons after the pattern of FS 85 in the LH IIIA2-IIIB periods. The small jugs, which were employed intensively in the Mycenaean pottery repertoire, are represented in the collection by the FS 114 form. The body of this pottery expanding towards the belly and the rising base can be observed in other jug forms as a distinctive feature. The juglet no. 13, the origin of which can be traced back to the Minoan pottery tradition, is one of the rare examples with its short beak part.

Sadberk Hanım Müzesi’ndeki Miken Seramikleri

Öz

Sadberk Hanım Müzesi koleksiyonu içerisinde yer alan Miken seramiklerinden altısı taşıma amaçlı, yedisi ise servis amaçlı üretilmiştir. İçerisinde zeytinyağı muhafaza edilen 1 ve 2 no’lu üzengi kulplu testilerin benzerleri GH IIIA2-IIIB dönemleri içerisinde geniş bir coğrafyada ticari olarak pazarlanmıştır. Çocuk mezarlarına bırakılan emzikli kapların iki ayrı forma ait olan örnekleri koleksi-yonda yer alırken, 3 ve 4 no’lu emzikli kaplar GH IIIC döneminde yerel atölyelerde üretilmiş olmalıdırlar. Ben-zer biçimde 5 no’lu kylix de aynı dönemin ürünü olmalıdır. Koleksiyondaki piriform kaplar, GH IIIA2 dönemi benzerleri ile tipik unsurlara sahiptir. FS 85 formundaki bodur alabastronlar ise GH IIIA2-IIIB dönemleri içerisinde üretilirken, içerisine kıvamlı kokuların saklanması için kullanılıyor olmalıydı. Miken seramik repertuarı içerisinde yoğun bir kullanımı bulunan tek kulplu küçük tes-tiler ise koleksiyonda FS 114 formu ile temsil edilirken bu formun karna doğru genişleyen gövdesi ve yükselen kaidesi ayırıcı bir özellik olarak diğer testi formları arasında izlenebilmektedir. Bununla birlikte kökeni Minos seramik repertuvarına kadar geriye giden formlar içerisinde yer alan 13 no’lu testicik, kısa gaga kısmıyla ender ele geçen örneklerden biridir.
