It is a container used in ancient Greece to store oil, especially olive oil. This type of container typically has a slender body, a handle connecting the neck and body, and a narrow mouth without a pouring port. In ancient Greek culture, it was not only a daily necessity, but also commonly used as burial objects. Now collected in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it is a red painted pottery belonging to the painter Tithonus, made around 480 BC. The scene depicts Athena holding a spear and helmet, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient Greek art.
