Harvester Vase Rhyton

Harvester Vase (or Harvester Rhyton)

The Harvester Vase is a rhyton from Bronze Age Crete, Greece, unearthed in the Minoan villa known as Agia Triada. It was made of steatite, which is a green-brown soapstone. A low relief depicting a group of workers walking to, or returning from olive harvest is carved on a continuous band across its face. It was originally gilded with gold hammered to paper-thin thickness (gold leaf).
Exhibited at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete, Greece.
