Kamares ware Prochus-Jug

An ancient Minoan Kamares-style prochus decorated with a white, leafy rose is now exhibited at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum in Crete. Prochuses were jugs used by the ancient Greeks to wash the hands of their guests or to carry wine for their feasts. This jug is considered one of the most beautiful pottery pieces from the Minoan era (2700-1450 B.C), known for its colorful “Kamares” ware. These were named after the Kamares cave where they were first discovered and were made in the pottery workshops of the Knossos and Phaistos palace complexes.
The artwork is an excellent example of Kamares pottery, which was coveted for its beauty throughout the ancient world. It is a handmade and hand-painted museum-quality artwork that is an exact copy of the original
