Faience double-spouted vessel in the form of a kneeling woman holding a jar

Unknown

late 7th–early 6th century BCE · Faience · Greek and Roman Art

The woman wears a heavy Egyptianizing wig, and indications of a leopard skin run down her back. A palm capital on her head serves as one spout, and the open-mouthed frog perched on the jar serves as the other. Most vessels of this type have been found on Rhodes.
