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.

Pilgrims returning home during the early Byzantine period carried with them numerous objects with sacred inscriptions. In Jerusalem—and in Syria—terracotta oil lamps were made with a specific formula of blessing mentioning both the Blessed Virgin as Theotokos and a certain John whose identification either with a saint or the manufacturer of these lamps remains unclear. The Archaeological Museum of Hatay in southeastern Turkey holds a lamp of this type, probably dating to the 6th century AD or shortly thereafter.

The aim of this research, based on a series of unpublished lamps from Mersin, Malatya and Mardin museums and all the necessary parallels, is to propose a new hypothesis on the chronology and diffusion of the type of lamps Donald Bailey nicknamed “teapot-shaped”, well attested in continental Turkey (Konya, Akşehir, Sagalassos), where their production is very well framed. In the coastal part of Asia Minor, on the contrary, this type seems to know at least three peaks of production: the Hellenistic period, the 2nd to 3rd century AD and, finally, the 6th century AD.
