Geometric II
Small spout with an attached human face
These curved spouts were seen in the later geometric and archaic periods. This one sports a very rare element of having a crudely modeled human face attached to its center. The face is then painted with black slip. Anthropomorphic vessels were a rarity during this period due in part to requiring more labour to produce.
