the 'images' layout in google's drop down images menu is changing...and seems even more pics are from stock photo services...kind of limited to wiki's...oh, I found a really good example for this side by side, and it's a wiki pic too...

The Cycladian frying pan (formerly Karlsruhe, Badisches Landesmuseum, inventory number 75/11) is an ornately decorated stone object of the type nicknamed as frying pans, from the Bronze Age Cycladic civilization. It dates to the Early Cycladic period, between the 27th and 24th centuries BC (EC II). The find spot is unknown, except that it originated on the Cycladic island of Naxos. The item derived from an illegal excavation and was acquired in 1975 by the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe. On 6 June 2014 it was repatriated to the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, Greece.
... ... ...
Patterns of interlocking spirals are often incised in Cycladic pottery, but in stone they are found on only a few items, particularly pyxides. An example was discovered in excavations on the island of Amorgos and acquired for the Antikensammlung Berlin by Georg Ferdinand Dümmler.[3] The quality of the work and the very carefully executed pattern ought to be attributed to an experienced and especially talented artisan. The frying pan must have been a prominent prestige object for its owner.[
... ... ...
The decoration of the frying pans recall water, almost without exception. Spirals, ships and stars are usual.
... ... ...
The ceramic frying pans often have two handles, projecting from the body with a women's genitals incised in the triangular space between them. On account of this, it has been suggested that they received libations in some kind of fertility rite;[1] sea, Sun and femininity may have been seen as symbols of the fertility of the body and the sea, which was essential for human life.[

gosh, that is just so cool...it's the only one found made of stone...the rest pottery...the top one has the same motif, and, being together with the boat, a good guess is the motif represents ocean waves...and, so, how does it get up on Amnehotep's ceiling with the rosettes and bulls?!...somewhere someone has gone on and on about this...Fletcher 'like a vacuum cleaner over there at third base'...one down...the stars part may explain why the pattern is on the Egyptian tomb ceilings...bases loaded, only one down...I've looked at the Etruscan mirrors, and they often have tangs like these do, which suggest both were mounted on handles, or standing bases...the Minoan knew glass making...maybe they had glass mirrors and the Cycladic culture kept the technology...one author listed how technologies seemed to have distributed from Minoan culture after it fell apart...one thing went there, one things went there...

Pyxis was an ancient vessel with lid but no handles, which was used for the safekeeping of cosmetics and jewellery for the female toilet and adornment.
