Small Mycenaean Pear-Shaped Jar

Skillfully wheel-made vessel provided with three handles that were modeled separately and applied to the shoulder before the firing process.

This vessel with a sinuous profile and a circular, narrow base is very characteristic of Mycenaean culture: it is the reduced version of the large jars that can often be found in tombs and that would have served for the storage of the products used during funerary rituals.
