Funnel a filler. The Bucket is of specifically Egyptian origin; with it water wasdrawn from the Nile; and hence the drop-like form, with the centreof gravity low down. Two such Buckets were carried on a yoke.The form serving to prevent spilling, (figs. 1—4). The AssyrianBucket generally terminates below in a lion mask, from which thebag-shaped neck rises, (fig. 6). In the Graeco-Italic style, we findfootless Buckets resembling an inverted egg (fig. 10); others with aring foot are, however, not uncommon, (figs. 7, 8, 9 and 11). Insteadof one hoop handle there were sometimes two (figs. 7 and 9). The ecclesiastical art of the Middle ages gave its portable Holy-water Stoups the form of buckets, modifying the shape of the latterto fit them for this purpose (figs. 13, 14). Sometimes the Bucketis fui-nished with a spout, or a nozzle (fig. 15). The Funnel, as a rule, takes the shape of an inverted cone, withor without a tubular continuation; the handle is vertical (figs. 20, 21), VASES. 323
