On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 958

O aguamanil é um recipiente usado para derramar água no ritual de lavagem das mãos, tanto no contexto religioso quanto no profano. Esta peça, cuja finalidade era divertir os convidados reunidos à mesa em um ambiente doméstico, retrata a lenda popular moralizadora, segundo a qual Aristóteles, o filósofo grego e tutor de Alexandre, o Grande, se deixou humilhar pela sedutora Filis para ensinar uma lição ao jovem rei.
