Terracotta vase in the form of a lobster claw

Terracotta vase in the form of a lobster claw. Culture: Greek, Attic. Dimensions: Overall: 2 3/4 x 2 7/8 in. (7 x 7.3 cm) Other: 6 1/4in. (15.9cm). Date: ca. 460 B.C.. Donkey; keras (drinking horn) Because so many aspects of Greek life depended on the sea, a vase in the shape of a lobster claw is not surprising. It is, however, exceptional and may be a variant of the askos--a bag-shaped oil container provided with a vertical mouth and strap handle. The Dionysiac iconography of the lobster claw suggests that it was a novelty item used at symposia (drinking parties).
