Mycenaean Beak-Sprouted Jug

The vessel is decorated with stylised argonauts or nautili (molluscs). This outstanding example of the mature phase of Mycenaean pottery presumably imitates a metal prototype.

Perhaps from Attica, Late Helladic IIIA1 Period (1400-1350 BCE). Made from clay. (Hellenic Museum, Melbourne, Victoria).
