Drinking vessel (rhyton) in the shape of a ship

This vessel takes the form of a ship. It stands upright on three legs. The ram of the ship takes the form of an animal’s head, with a realistically rendered eye painted on each side. The deck of the ship is decorated with a series of Geometric decorations painted in black glaze, including rows of zig zags, dots, rectangles, and a meander pattern. A bearded steersman reclines on the stern of the vessel. In the center of the deck of the ship, where a mast would usually stand, there is a round opening that could have been used to fill the vessel with liquid. Another, smaller spout in the stern could have been used to empty the vessel, perhaps by someone drinking from it.
