Italo-Geometric Bird Askos (Oil Vessel): Hunter (Herakles?) and Stag
The oil vessel is a tan color with darker brown designs. The vessel has a wide, shallow bowl with a small, narrow stem at the bottom. A spout on one side resembles a bird's head; the opposite side features a small tail. Two small handles protrude from the back. The bowl features various geometric patterns, including chevrons, diamonds, and zigzags. A hunter and a stag are depicted among the designs. The background of the image is dark gray, with a shadow cast by the vessel.
