It is a replica from the late Mycenaean civilization in Greece (approximately 1400 BC to 1100 BC). This type of jar is named after its top stirrup shaped handle and nozzle configuration. The symmetrical composition and abstract representation of marine life are typical Mycenaean styles. This type of jar is usually used for transporting liquids. The decoration on the jar and the dynamic octopus pattern prove the importance of the ocean as a means of communication and a source of food and wealth. It is even possible that this jar was designed for the export of oil from the region, and it is a celebration of the Mycenaean people's maritime strength and enjoyment of the ocean and its life giving properties.
