Terracotta kernos (vase for multiple offerings)

Terracotta kernos (vase for multiple offerings). Culture: Cycladic. Dimensions: Overall: 13 5/8 in. (34.6 cm) Other: 14in. (35.5cm). Date: ca. 2300-2200 B.C.. Although the kernos was used in widely disparate regions during the prehistoric period, particularly impressive examples have come to light in the Cyclades, and this is one of the grandest preserved. The receptacles probably contained foodstuffs of various kinds or perhaps of flowers. The kernos was found, together with the jar (2004.363.2) and the jug (2004.363.3) displayed nearby in this gallery, in 1829 in a tomb on Melos by Captain Copeland, a British naval officer. In 1857 his widow gave the objects to Eton College, where they remained until coming to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on loan in 1996.
