Dionysus Flask

This is a ceramic flask or juglet that depicts the head of Dionysus on the neck. The flask is triangular in shape and has a body that is shaped like a bunch of grapes, which also symbolizes the god Dionysus. The head of Dionysus is adorned with a fillet, ivy leaves, and berries. Made out of reddish brown clay, this object was used to contain liquids, most likely wine. Discovered in the Fayoum locality of Egypt, this object well represents the influence of Greek and Roman deities in the region during the 2nd century CE.

The downloadable files are in an .STL format which is optimal for 3D printing. We suggest using a free software such as Meshmixer to edit the file to your needs. Some objects may need supports added or should be hollowed out for the most efficient printing. Any questions about 3D printing should be directed to kelsey.disko.project@umich.edu.
