This artifact, a three-handled amphora featuring three octopuses, dates back to the Late Minoan IA period, approximately 1600-1500 BC. The amphora, representative of Palace Style pottery, diverges from traditional forms by incorporating an extra handle and stands at a height of 27 cm. Though aged, it displays minor wear, a testament to the advanced techniques employed by the Minoan craftsman who remains unidentified.
