A grey burnished pottery vessel in the form of a ram with a suspension loop on the back. The vessel has an opening on the chest area of the animal but the exact purpose of this shape is not known although it is highly likely to have served a ritual or votive purpose.
The body of the ram is modelled in a simple and abstract manner but the face is surprisingly detailed including defined eyes, nostrils and mouth.

A pottery "stirrup vessel" consisting of a squat spherical body mounted with a side-spout and a pair of strap handles meeting on a central raised pillar. The body is painted with a series of light brown/orange horizontal bands and the top of the handles is decorated with a spiral.
The stirrup vessel probably represents the most recognisable shape of Bronze Age Greek pottery and was used to contain and export oils from Mycenaean trading sites across the Mediterranean.
