Handmade ceramic replica of a late Minoan small stirrup jar with geometric decoration.
The stirrup-jar is also known as ''false-necked amphora'' because of its vertical neck which was closed and the liquid was poured through a collateral spout on the shoulder of the vase. Its structure supposedly provides a mechanical advantage by which one could accomplish more efficient and less wasteful pourring. False-necked amphora were used for storing and transporting wine, aromatic oils and olive oil.
