linear b ideogram vessel b200

Linear B vessel B200

𐃟 is Linear B’s *200 VAS ideogram for a vessel: a label in palace accounts, not a syllable to pronounce. Scribes paired vessel signs with numerals and sometimes added syllabic signs to clarify a category. The earliest Linear B tablets at Knossos date to the 15th–14th centuries BCE. Font support determines whether it displays.
