A related type of jug has a bull's head as a spout (Below
left, AN1890.692).
The idea of having human or animal shapes in pottery (see
below center, AN1971.858) has a long history in Cyprus, as does
the concept of adding small additional pottery shapes to vessels (see
below right, AN1896-1908.C.257). However, the kore jug is a distinct
addition to the repertoire of pottery types after Archaic times. Maybe
it can be considered as an example of indigenous development at a time
when Cyprus became heavily influenced by Greek and Persian culture.
