    "description": "This rather squat askos has a segmented body and a bottom that is flat with limited molding on the edge. A high looping handle is placed at a right angle to the tapering spout. A small circular lid with a small knob handle covers the central opening. A vessel of this shape would have been used to pour a liquid slowly, perhaps something like perfumed oil, or as a \"feeder\" vessel, which was used to feed infants, small children, or the infirm, or to dispense medicine.",
