Lead-Glazed Head Kantharos, 1st century B.C. Additional Info: Made in a mold, this vase in the form of a human head depicts Dionysos, the Greek god of wine. The head of a goat, an animal frequently associated with Dionysos, forms the handle of the vase. A lead glaze that ranges in color from golden yellow for the god's skin, to reddish brown for his eyes and lips, to green for the wreath in his hair, covers the vase. A stamp on the underside of this vase gives the name of its maker, Likinnios.
