Context:
This ladle was a popular form in the 4th century B.C. Its tall, verticle handle is looped and ends in a swan's head and neck. This utensil was used for filling drinking cups with wine from a bowl The flat rim of the shallow bowl projects slightly towards the inside to prevent the liquid from spilling.
"Kyathos" is the ancient Greek word for ladle. An inscription with the name of an owner is scratched along the lower back: "the kyathos of Archiphaes."
