Terracotta Guttus in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007

Terracotta Guttus in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007
Terracotta guttus (flask with handle and spout)
Greek, South Italian, Campanian, black-glaze, 4th century BC

Accession # 06.1021.263

The left foot wears a sandal with a thick sole- perhaps that of an actor? The functional features of the object include the strainer at the top, a small spout in the form of a lion's head, and the vertical ring handle. Vases in the form of sandaled feet occur in Greek art at all periods and in all areas.
