Terracotta "basket vase"
This terracotta “basket vase” was from the Mycenean period around 1400-1300 BC. The idea of the lids of jars like this being attached to the body so that they were together is a constant re-occurring theme. The dimensions of this jar are 10 5/8 inches, and it was probably wood-fired clay. According to the Met website, this vase is probably from Rhodes and the accession number is 06.1021.3a, b and was purchased in 1906 by the Rogers’ fund.
