Bird-shaped juglet

Bird-shaped juglet with ovoid body and tubular, elongated tail. The cylindrical neck ends in a wide rim and has a small vertical handle.Bird-shaped juglets are relatively common in Cyprus, which is considered as one of the main production centres for this type of vessels. They are also called 'gutti' or 'rhyta' because their tail is almost always perforated. However, in earlier periods similar vessels were used as perfume containers.
