Terracotta askos in the shape of a reclining dog
Askoi were used to store and dispense oil and were employed in a variety of domestic and sacro-religious contexts. This large example is extremely well preserved and will augment The Met’s significant collection of Cypriot, Etruscan, and Greek askoi in the form of animals.
