Abstract:
The clay wheelmade askos with the body of a bird and head of a bull, found in 1916 by the Italian archaeologist Amedeo Maiuri in a primary cremation on the Daphne hill at Ialysos, is a very rare find in the Aegean and Mediterranean pottery of early historical times. The askos was a grave offering, together with a partly preserved figurine of a bovine and a bronze sceptre head in the form of a wild goat. According to the objects found with it in the excavation, the vessel dates from the 7th c. BC.According to the typological study andthe stylistic analysis, it is a plastic vase that has a combination of hybrid features and reveals the clear influence of pottery of the early 1st millennium BC from Cyprus, one of the most important production centers of this kind of vase. The influence of the metalworking of Greece, and also the East, can also be detected. The macroscopic examination of the fabric leaves no margin for doubt that this plastic vase originated from Rhodes, where local pottery workshops flourished in the 8th and 7th c. BC, following the trends and artistic currents of the East while retaining their own independence.
