Wine Funnel with Strainer (Primary Title)
Unknown (Artist)
Ancient wines were not filtered, so strainers were essential kitchen implements. This elegant example is one of a small group of bronzes produced in the 6th century that combine a colander with a funnel. Here, functionality is wed to elegance in such details as the duck’shead handle.
