Kernos (vase for multiple offerings), terracotta (ca. 2300–1900 BCE) Cycladic potters created this complex ritual vessel to hold a variety of offerings such as flowers, fruit, and grains.

The piece was discovered in 1829 by a British naval officer while exploring the island of Melos. Loc. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Dim. 34.6 cm H (13 5/8 in.).
