Their widespread creation attests to a shared impulse to incorporate animals and nature into the world of humans. These elaborate and intricate vessels were used for ceremonial banquets and religious rituals, or in funerary activities. At times, it was believed that the use of these vessels could almost animate the creatures represented, making them present and involved in the unfolding events. The incorporation of vessels rep- resenting animals at these moments both connected the human and animal worlds and asserted the differences between these disparate realms.","remarks":"MED_22-T2-2_CLA.pdf – Day One Cataloguing (group chat for 2003-255, y1931-17, y1988-7, y1989-27, y1990-76, y1041, y1953-76, y1949-14, y1949-49, 2019-230, 2004-456, 2006-9)\r\n"}],"media":[{"id":34201,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/INV001888","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Inventory Project"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"\"Acquisitions of the Art Museum 1989,\" <EM>Record of the Art Museum, Princeton University </EM>49, no. 1 (1990): p. 24-57.","citation":"\"Acquisitions of the Art Museum 1989,\" <EM>Record of the Art Museum, Princeton University </EM>49, no. 1 (1990): p. 24-57., p. 53","date":1990,"id":3099,"uri":"https://www.jstor.org/stable/3774747"}],"exhibitions":[],"geography":[{"displaygeography":"Place made: Europe, Italy, Daunia, northern Apulia (southern Italy)","code":"Place made","continent":"Europe","subcontinent":null,"country":"Italy","region":"Daunia, northern Apulia (southern Italy)","state":null,"city":null,"county":null,"subregion":null,"locale":null,"locus":null,"river":null,"excavation":null,"geoname":"http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_41.002_16.734.html","location":{"lat":"","lon":""}}],"terms":[{"id":2158039,"term":"birds","aatid":null,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2049167,"term":"ceramics","aatid":300151343,"termtype":"Classification"},{"id":2072858,"term":"askoi","aatid":300198863,"termtype":"Classification"},{"id":2036491,"term":"Hellenistic","aatid":300020101,"termtype":"Period / Style"},{"id":2036579,"term":"South Italian","aatid":300020172,"termtype":"Culture"},{"id":2159963,"term":"stripes","aatid":300010230,"termtype":"Subject"},{"id":2160397,"term":"slip","aatid":300010459,"termtype":"Materials"},{"id":2160750,"term":"ceramic","aatid":300235507,"termtype":"Materials"}],"classifications":[{"id":2072858,"classification":"askoi"},{"id":2049167,"classification":"ceramics"}],"cultures":[{"id":18241,"culture":"South Italian, Daunian","alphasort":"South Italian, Daunian","begindate":0,"enddate":0,"displayculture":"South Italian, Daunian","displaydate":null}],"cultureterms":[{"id":2036579,"culture":"South Italian"}],"periods":[{"id":12865,"period":"Hellenistic Period","alphasort":"Hellenistic Period","begindate":-323,"enddate":-30,"displayperiod":"Hellenistic Period, ca. 323–30 BCE","displaydate":"ca. 323–30 BCE"}],"periodterms":[{"id":2036491,"period":"Hellenistic"}],"attribute_groups":[{"id":2199316,"term":"Ancient Mediterranean Art","termtype":"Collecting Area"}],"dimensionelements":[{"element":"Overall","type":"Height","units":"centimeters","dimension":"17.20"},{"element":"Overall","type":"Width","units":"centimeters","dimension":"17.00"},{"element":"Overall","type":"Depth","units":"centimeters","dimension":"12.40"}],"packages":[{"packageid":278831,"name":"10282025-DAY1-ONVIEW"},{"packageid":220207,"name":"Gallery_22(Pavilion6)-AncientMed"},{"packageid":181991,"name":"web_2020_ancient_study_corridor"}],"primaryimage":["https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/INV001888"],"displaymaker":null,"displayculture":"South Italian, Daunian","displayperiod":"Hellenistic Period, ca. 323–30 BCE","caption":"South Italian, Daunian, Hellenistic Period (ca. 323–30 BCE), Daunia, northern Apulia (southern Italy), Italy, 3rd century BCE, Askos (oil container) in the form of a bird.
