These are processional cups which people would carry. Lovely, light looking with tapered bottoms.
Above is a PHaistos Disc, from the 17th century BC. The museum thinks that the hieroglyphics are a song. This disc is about 8 inches in diameter, covered with symbols front and back.

This is a my photo of the museum's photo. It's a detail of a vase decoration of a couple or lovers talking. 7th century BC
