Terracotta vase in the form of an animal
Unknown
1050–950 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
The vase appears to be a variant of the askos, a bag-shaped flask with one spout and a handle over the top. While askoi often take the form of birds, the animal here appears to be a quadruped and is equipped with two spouts.
