In display case 3, number 19, mounted at the back, is an askos—a type of flask—featuring a relief of the goddess Artemis. She appears in frontal view, her head turned left, reaching back for an arrow from her quiver. Traces of original paint suggest that this vessel was once richly colored.

The spout of the askos is shaped like a lion’s head, and the body is decorated with an ivy-wrapped vegetal spiral—typical of the “Western Slope” style of the Hellenistic period. This decorative style is named after the western slope of the Athenian Acropolis, where such motifs were first discovered. In Aiani, a variety of vessels—including kylikes, shallow bowls, salt-cellars, and askoi—were produced with these ivy and floral motifs.
