Collection trésor de Vix - Ecran 8

An oenochoe is a wine jug used by the Greeks to draw a mixture of wine and water from the krater and serve it into cups.

The oenochoe of Vix features "a stocky body, a relatively short neck, and an oblique mouthpiece that ends in a spatulate beak." "The lower attachment is of the "anchor" type and has a large, somewhat irregular palmette with thirteen petals, topped by two short, upright stems that end in a button." This Etruscan item traveled through the Alps and spread across a vast geographical area, from Champagne to Bohemia.
