| Amorites, Canaan, Pottery Vessel, 2300 - 1800 B.C. |   | In Genesis the Amorites are described in as descendants of Canaan, son of Ham. They were a Canaanite group who occupied land east and west of the Jordan. Numerous kings of the Amorites were defeated by Joshua with great slaughter. In the days of Samuel, the Amorites and the Israelites made peace.

| Roman Greece, Barbotine Ware Amphora, 2nd Century A.D. |  | From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer in antiquities for 40 years.
Barbotine is French for a ceramic slip, a mixture of clay and water used for decorating pottery. In English the term is used for two different techniques but here we are only concerned with the technique used in the ancient world. Barbotine is piped onto the object much like cakes are decorated with icing, using a quill, horn, or another kind of nozzle. The slip is often a color contrasting with rest of the vessel and forms a design, a pattern, or inscription, that is raised above the main surface. The Egyptians used barbotine decorative designs. Specimens have also been found at Minoan Knossos on the island of Crete.
This example was found near Corinth. The style is certainly related to the Egyptian Barbotine ware but it may have been made in mainland Greece.
