Jug with a griffin-head spout, 675-650 BCE. Made on one of the islands of the Cyclades, perhaps Paros, found on Aigina. The potting, the modelling of the griffin's head and the painted decoration of the vase are of the highest quality. Griffins, fabulous animals, come from the Near East. Like sphinxes, the are guardians and protectors of the dead. GR 1873.8-20.385.
