An oinochoe is a vessel for pouring wine. On the shoulder is engraved: [A]NIOVM (Shuthin[a], in reverse, meaning "sepulchral"), indicating the object was consecrated in a tomb and was not to be used by the living. Adorning the top of the handle is a ram's head. The handle's base incorporates a relief of a satyr seated on a wall.
