Terracotta siphon
Unknown
6th century BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
The siphon is filled by immersing it in liquid and stopping a small hole in the handle with one finger. Removing the finger from the hole allows the water to flow out. Although the shape is rare, it is attested over a rather extensive area from mainland Greece to Ionia.
