Título: Terracotta Hadra hydria (water jar)
Descripción: Ver traducción automática
Terracotta Hadra hydria (water jar). Culture: Greek, Ptolemaic, Cretan. Dimensions: h. 18 1/4 in. (46.4 cm); d. 10 1/8 in. (25.7 cm). Date: late 3rd century B.C.. inscribed on neck "AR" This Hadra hydria is somewhat unusual: its shape is slightly more attenuated then most; its lower body is glazed to the foot; and it has a twisted back handle, a less common but not altogether rare variation, seen as well on 90.9.16 nearby. The inscription may be an abbreviation of "Architheoros," a title referring to the priest of a sacred embassy, and thus may allude to the vocation of the deceased whose remains were once contained within this vessel.
