Fragment of an oinochoe (wine jug) depicting Queen Berenike II. Hellenistic Period, Ptolemaic Egypt, 246-221 B.C. Faience. In the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Description from the Met:

Ptolemaic oinochoai (wine-jugs) with portraits of the queens were libation vessels associated with the royal cult, and surely also emphasized the identification of Ptolemaic queens with the Egyptian goddess Isis... Queen Berenike II (246-221 B.C.) is almost certainly represented on this fragment. Her relatively long reign accounts for the different styles that have been attributed to her early, middle, and mature reign. This fragment depicts the queen in what has been termed the mature style, wearing the stephane that the Ptolemaic queens adopted from Greek goddesses... The queen holds the cornucopia adopted by Ptolemies as their insignia, its contents consisting of sheaves of wheat, rather indistinct cakes, and a bunch of grapes that spilled from the mouth of the horn to which only a break edge testifies.

About to flip my shit trying to find a photo of stamnos supposedly in the Louvre, but at least I came across this photo of a wine jug depicting an absolutely magnificent owl with arms and… well, arms.

Two old test prints of a famous oinochoe which I have long since forgotten the name of… I made this one in a real rush in 2021 after not having printed in a while so - again - not perfect, but it set the tone for the kind of things I want to print!

I've been obsessed with this one oinochoe vase/jug from ancient Greece, I keep coming back to it and drawing it again and again
