It is a type of pottery from the late Minoan civilization on the island of Crete in ancient Greece. This jar is named after its unique stirrup shape and is decorated with a linear octopus pattern. The Minoan civilization, approximately from 2000 BC to 1450 BC, was one of the earliest civilizations in Europe, known for its complex palaces, religious beliefs, and artistic achievements. The stirrup jar is one of the common pottery items in the Minoan culture, typically used for storing food and liquids. The shape design makes them easy to carry and use, while the decorative patterns reflect the Minoan people's worship of nature and marine life. It is the material cultural heritage of the Minoan civilization.
