Terracotta vase in the shape of a cockerel. Culture: Etruscan. Dimensions: H. 4 1/16 in. (10.31 cm). Date: ca. 650-600 B.C..
This small vase, inscribed with the twenty-six letters of the Etruscan alphabet, may have been a container for ink. The head acts as a stopper and could be attached to the bird's body by a cord. The missing tail no doubt curved downward to form a third foot.
