Terracotta askos (flask with a spout and handle over the top) 300 BC

This terracotta askos, a type of flask with a spout and handle, was created by the Bolsena Group in 300 BC. The askos is a distinctive form of ancient Greek pottery, often used for holding liquids. The Bolsena Group, known for its Etruscan-influenced pottery, decorated this askos with a raised handle, a rope pattern encircling the body, and a series of floral motifs. This piece is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
