Description<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

This type of vase, which is also called a crater, was produced by the Mycenaeans of pre-classical Greece. It illustrates the contacts Syria maintained with the Aegean world. The Mycenaeans are thought to have been responsible for the trade in amber, which came from the shores of the Baltic Sea and was used in Syria to make beads for necklaces <\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>
