Popis: The paper discusses a relatively small wine container called an askos, which is part of a ‘treasure’ of silver vessels allegedly found in central Thrace. The askos is compared to several clay parallels excavated thus far exclusively in Thrace. These clay askoi occur in three different ceramic fabrics: banded ware, a fabric with painted floral and geometric motifs, and monochrome ware. Our silver exemplar is dated to the very end of the 4th century BC and attributed to a workshop most plausibly located in a Greek colony of the western Black Sea coast.
