Minoan art. Bull's-head rhyton. This rhyton was found in the small palace of Knossos. It is a characteristic example of Minoan stone carving of the early Neopalatial period. It is a libation vase, which was filled with the appropriate liquid through a hole in the neck and emptied through another hole on the muzzle. This rhyton imitates a bull, the most important animal in Minoan religion. 1550-1500 BCE.
