Bull shaped rhryton

Bull-shaped rhyton from Milos Island, Greece, with painted decoration of the so-called “Base-Ring Ware”. Rhytons were ritual vessels used for offering libations (wine, olive oil) to the gods, and are found frequently in temples and graves. They were widespread throughout the Near East and the Aegean in the Late Bronze Age, although their shape varies from region to region. Zoomorphic rhytons were particularly popular in Crete. The bull was one of the paramount religious symbols of the Minoan Civilization and was linked with fertility and supernatural strength. It gradually developed into a symbol of both religious and royal authority.
