The iconography is not directly connected to the jars function, but the chasing animals and the Arabic benedictory words addressed to the owner convey an overall propitious symbolism. For their cleverness and speed the hare seems to have been regarded as especially auspicious.. Apothecary Jar with Running Hares and a Dog. 12th century.

LEON. SPAIN.Ewer with dancing females within arcades ca. 6th-7th century A.D. Sasanian Late Sasanian silver vessels, particularly bottles and ewers, often were decorated with female figures holding a variety of festal objects. The appearance of these motifs attests to the continuing influence of Greek imagery associated with the wine god Dionysus. On this silver-gilt vessel, floral arches, supported by low pilasters, frame four dancing female figures. Each holds a ceremonial object in either hand: grape and leaf branches, a vessel, a heart-shaped flower. Beneath one arcade, birds peck at fruit, and beneath another a tiny panther drinks from a ewer. Both the females and their decorative motifs recall representations of the maenads, attendants of Dionysus. However, it has been suggested that these figures have been adapted to the cult of the Iranian goddess Anahita. No texts survive to explain the appearance or function of these female figures, but it seems likely that vessels decorated with motifs Wine Pot 12th-13th century Korea.

Terracotta pelike (jar) 255816Acomita polychrome water jar ca. 1790 Acoma, Native American The earliest Acomita water jars are distinguished by short, undecorated necks, bulbous mid-bodies, and dark concave underbodies. This example features a spiral configuration, possibly an abstract bird, painted against a white, open background on each side. The head, rectangular eye, and beak flow into the geometric shapes that may be stylized feathers and the birds body. In traditional Pueblo thought, birds and feathers are associated with prayers for rain, germination, and fertility.. Acomita polychrome water jar. Acoma, Native American. ca. 1790. Clay and pigment.

Throughout the Zhou period, high-fired, impressed stoneware continued to be refined, especially in the lower reaches of the Yangzi and the southeastern provinces. For many years, the glazed and unglazed stonewares remained similar in technique and decoration. By eastern Zhou, glazed wares became more numerous and, by the Warring States (475-221 BCE) era, about half of all ceramics were glazed.Spouted Jar. Iran, 1700-1500 B.C.. Furnishings; Serviceware.

W. 5th century BC (-500-00-00--476-00-00);Model Jar Inscribed for Sennefer and Senetnay ca. 1427-1400 B.C. New Kingdom This jar is made of solid stone, with only a small depression at the top. It was never intended to be functional, but was a model used as part of the owner's burial equipment. The shape imitates a ceremonial hes-vase that would have been used for pouring libations. The inscription names the Mayor of Thebes Sennefer and his wife, the Royal Nurse Senetnay.Senetnay was the wet-nurse of Amenhotep II and another title "one who nurtured the body of the god" indicates that she lived into the king's reign. Because of her close relationship with the king, Senetnay was given the privilege of burial in the royal cemetery now known as the Valley of the Kings. Several dozen model jars inscribed with her name (and sometimes with that of her husband as well) were discovered in and around the entrance of KV 42. Four of these, including this one, a small jug, and two pear-shaped jars are now on view in gallery 117.For more infGlass oinochoe (perfume jug). Culture: Greek, Eastern Mediterranean.

On the front of the vase is a head of Nike; on the back, a palmette.Scylla askoi are late Apulian creations most notable for the treatment of the shape and the apparently unrelated decoration..

Sasanian Plain unglazed ceramics, like this example, are the most common type of pottery found during the Sasanian period. These plain vessels were part of the everyday household materials. This jug would have been created in two pieces, then joined together to form the final vessel. The join line is partially visible about halfway up the vessel. Both the rim and the handle have been broken off. This jug was excavated from the house at Maaridh I in the Ctesiphon area. The city of Ctesiphon was located on the east bank of the Tigris River, 20 miles (32 km) south of modern Baghdad in Iraq. It flourished for more than 800 years as the capital of the Parthians and the Sasanians, the last two dynasties to rule the ancient Near East before the Islamic conquest in the seventh century. Systematic excavations in the Ctesiphon area were undertaken by an expedition in 1928-29 sponsored by the German Oriental Society (Deutsche Orient-Gesellschaft).
