Description
Clay tripod cooking pot with deep biconical body and inverted rim, from the Minoan settlement of Poros in Heraklion. Tripod cooking pots were one of the main vessels used for cooking food, whether of vegetable or animal origin. The cost common type was that with a deep globular or cylindrical body with two handles. All Minoan settlements had shallow open cooking trays and spit supports, a sort of clay grill.
