This terracotta oinochoe (jug), dated to 460 BC, is in the shape of a woman’s head. It is an example of the “Head Vase” style, a type of Ancient Greek pottery that was popular in the 5th century BC. The piece was made by the “Canessa Class”, a group of potters known for their distinctive style. It is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The oinochoe’s form is a testament to the ingenuity and artistry of the ancient Greek potters.
