This is a STUNNING piece of craftspersonship Details: www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

Terracotta kernos (vase for multiple offerings)
Cycladic, Early Cycladic III-Middle Cycladic I,
са. 2300-1900 всЕ
From Melos
Purchase, The Annenberg Foundation Gift, 2004 (2004.363.1)
The kernos was a popular type of vessel in the Mediterranean world during the prehistoric period, and particularly impressive examples have come to light in the Cyclades. This vase reflects the potter's great skill and creativity. The two rings of receptacles probably held multiple offerings, such as flowers, fruit, and other foods. Similar kernoi have been discovered in tombs on the island of Melos.
This vase, together with the jar (2004.363.2) and jug
(2004.363.3) displayed nearby, was discovered in 1829 on Melos by the British naval officer Captain Richard Copeland. In 1857 his widow gave the objects to Eton College in Windsor, England, where they remained until 1996, when they were lent to The Met. The group was purchased by the Museum in 2004.
