Bronze oinochoe (jug). Culture: Greek. Dimensions: H.: 8 15/16 in. (22.7 cm). Date: ca. 460 B.C.. The handle attachment is in the form of a frontal siren. The function of a handle attachment is to secure the base of the handle securely to the body of the vase; a broad surface provides a stronger bond. From a purely mechanical viewpoint, the siren with its extended wings fulfills the purpose effectively. She wears a silver fillet. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
