MINOAN bulls head Rhyton

 MINOAN BULL'S HEAD 


Anima head rhytons were popular objects throughout centuries of Greek art.

You may have seen images of heads carved from stone and adorned with gold or enamel such as this?


However clay was also used!

Here's a lesser known Minoan work dated to about 1500 BCE!



Next time back to the Alpha variants series!
