Enigmatic Minoan Jug

Description

 
Enigmatic Minoan Jug

A Minoan bronze age jug in the museum at Fira, Santorini (Thira), Greece.

This is an example of a distinctive Minoan and Aegean shape of jug. The neck and lip are rather bent back and the shape of the head is often bird like with a large eye. This example has other, more mammalian features as well.

For an excavated settlement of the period see

Very interesting pot design, I wonder what inspired them to make it like that.
