Ancient Greek Clay Zoomorphic Handle
Circa 5th-4th century BC
This interesting clay handle, a fragment from a larger vessel, features an intricately modelled animal, possibly a mythical creature, hunching forward with a detailed head and forelegs that run along the sides of the protruding handle. The animal’s body is robust, with a sense of tension conveyed through the arched back and bent legs, while the head is finely detailed, showing alert eyes and expressive features, suggesting the creature's readiness to leap into action.
