Owl-Headed Vase from Troy
A dark rounded vessel has two loop handles, a small lid and a modelled face beneath its narrow neck. Incised curving lines decorate the broader body. The printed caption identifies an owl-headed vase from Troy. Donnelly uses the object in his comparisons of ancient imagery, while the combination of face, handles and lid gives this particular vessel a distinctive profile.
