From the mid-7th to mid-6th century B.C., Corinth was a leading production center of plastic vases—vessels made in the form of a human, animal, or mythological being. Rams were a favorite shape for Corinthian potters. The narrow opening at the top of this vase, which originally held perfumed oil, was designed to restrict the flow of its precious contents.
