Greek terra-cotta anthropomorphic oinochoe ‘head of Core’, 600-550 BC. Papainannou (1972:442) shows a similar piece from the Metropolitan Museum, New-York. Oinochoe An Oinochoie (sometimes spelled Oenochoe) is a “Jug with an ovoid body, a vertical loop handle, a flat base, and usually a trefoil (pinched) lip. Examples occur in many shapes and sizes, some having a circular mouth, a beaked lip, or a spout. There are two types:(1) with the neck set off from the shoulder; and (2) with a continuous curve from the neck to the body (the olpe is a form of this type)… There are glass oenochoe of small size (4 to 9 cm.) used as receptacles for toilet preparations…” (Newman 1977).
