Terracotta strainer jug

Roman, Cypriot

Not on view

Jug with handle and spout.

A similar vessel, dated to the early Flavianic period (A.D. 69–79), was found during excavations in the House of Dionysus at Paphos. The production center of Cypriot Sigillata has not yet been identified, but it is likely to have been on the island itself rather than in southern Asia Minor or elsewhere. The industry flourished from the early 1st through the mid-2nd century A.D.
