Ankara september 2011 9240.jpg

Cup in the (archaic) shape of a woman. From the region of Bolu.
Burial gift. Found in a 8th century BC grave (Phrygian period).

West-Anatolian potters continued the traditional style of making different types of cups using the female form. This type of cup is very widespread.
