Bull's Head Rhyton
#bullshead #rhyton
You've probably seen Minoan Rhytons including the clay one I showed you recently.
I did an image search and found an example from the Classical period.
Whoever photographed it didnt think to include an angle showing the openings.
The general theory seems to have be that soft wax stoppers were used so these actually could function for pouring liquids. I suspect many of these were also designed to be designed as objects of arts between usage but whether hanging from a hook or sitting on a shelf I do not know.
