About the Item
A beautifully preserved example, this askos features a globular body defined by two vertical spouts and a conjoined ribbed handle in between. The whole of the body is decroated with undulating bands of linked chain, ivy leaves, waves, cross-hatching, dotted zigzags and other decorative elements. The shoulder features added details in red.
Notes
The askos is the name given in modern parlance to a type of Greek pottery vessel used to pour small quantities of liquids such as oil. It is recognisable from its flat shape and a spout at one or both ends that could also be used as a handle; they were usually painted decoratively like vases and were mainly used for storing oil and refilling oil lamps
