1. Sir John Forsdyke. The British Museum, 1936. December 6, 2021. https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_Eu1933-4

Eth Doc 1752
The original label reads: 'Jug of Korno pottery, handmade ware from Cyprus imitating Bronze Age forms from Miss du Plat Taylor, Purves, [?], Berwickshire.' An annotation in a later hand reads: 'The design is almost identical with Congo (upper Ubangi) type ? introduced by sugar slaves. Rouletting not found on bronze age or classical period Cyprus pottery. It is found [on] figure scenes on Rhodes vases 8th c BC and Etruscan ware - prob. derived from Sumerian cylinder seals (Forsdyke). See Ancient Egypt 1930'.
Sir John Forsdyke was Keeper of the Greek & Roman Department at this date, becoming Director in 1936. The donor's name on the label should read Taylor-Purves (her mother's maiden name was Purves). She wrote on Cypriot Bronze Age pottery so was probably interested in this piece as an imitation of Bronze Age forms.
