It is a type of imitation stirrup jar originating from Cyprus, whose prototype belongs to the Mycenaean civilization/Late Hradic III period (approximately 1400 BC to 1100 BC). Named after its top stirrup shaped handle and spout configuration. In ancient times, this type of jar was often used to transport wine and olive oil in the Mediterranean region due to its ease of carrying and storage, as well as its design that would not overflow. Decorations are usually symbolic and reflect the culture and aesthetics of the society at that time. Decorations with fish and birds as the main themes may be related to the connection between the ocean and nature, and these elements are very common in Mycenaean art.
