Oenochoe

These two head oenochoae were buried with the kotyle by the Brygos painter (22. 8), B.S.A. xiv, pl. xiv, and the Red Figure kylix (22. 7), ibid. pl. xiii. b.

In contact with the upper part of the jar was a dish with rodent or bird bones and two oenochoae, all protected by big blocks of schist.

As we have seen above, Black-on-Red Cypriot trefoil oenochoae together with objects from the Syropalestinian area had started arriving in Crete already before the middle of the 8 cent. B.C.

In the tondo of a cup in the Louvre we see a young slave, a pais, dip an oenochoe into a garlanded krater; he is holding a cup in the other hand and is about to serve drinks (fig. 20).
