Roman Style Bronze Askos, Grand Tour Souvenir

The Askos form has been a favorite amongst visitors to Roman sites since at least the time of Thomas Jefferson who commissioned a carved wooden model while he was in Nime and later had it reproduced in silver. This large and heavily cast example has a deeply patinated surface that gives it a very convincing appearance.
