A terracotta oinochoe of the chous shape — the wine-jug filled at the Anthesteria, the Athenian festival of the new wine. A faithful reproduction of a public-domain work in The Metropolitan Museum (CC0). The object exactly as it survives, at print scale. The squat body is built to be held one-handed, mid-pour, mid-party. A whole festival fits in one jug.
