Frying Pans
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Cycladic frying pan.
Description
Frying pans typically resemble skillets (hence the name frying pan) in that they have a diameter of 20 to 28 cm (7.9 to 11 in), a raised lip and a handle. However, all the decoration tends to be on the outside rim and on the base. The decoration is stamped or incised. The motifs are mostly geometrical, with some vegetal or fish designs. Boats with oars are sometimes represented. The handles vary a great deal (more so on the mainland).
