2007.4.151 Fragment from base, stem between base and main bowl of pot
25.6.7 Rounded handle with small flat part sticking out at part furthest from main pot
50.4.22 The bowl is a variant of Hoffmann's shape III (see H. Hoffmann, Tarentine Rhyta [Mainz 1966] 2) but the bowl is unusually aligned with the animal head. The Reading example corresponds to Hoffmann's 'main group' of Tarentine ram's-head rhyta, and particularly to his group E, which is 'the first wholly naturalistic representation of the ram-head', which he ascribes to the 'hand of Coroplast Beta'

There is a fork shaped spur which follows the curve of the handle and rim and then continues above the main body of the jug.
