In this brief paper a terracotta rhyton in the form of a bull’s head is presented which is exhibited in the museum of Tarsus and probably belongs to the first century B.C. The rhyton, a ceremonial vessel form from earlier periods, was mostly used as a votive vessel in the graves of the Hellenistic period. Archaeological context of this vessel in Tarsus, that has been acquired by the museum in 1973, is not known, but its status of preservation as well as the craftsmanship of its ornaments attracts a special attention.
