An anthropomorphic oenochoe with a trilobed spout, evoking a pregnant woman. Attached to the neck of the jug, the finely rendered head features a profusion of wavy hair that frames a face with regular features. The neck is adorned with a necklace whose beads are accented with touches of paint. The breasts are depicted on the upper part of the body. The arms, drawn in front, wear dark-colored bracelets. Here one can see the influence of ancient Mesopotamian traditions associated with the theme of the Mother Goddess (H. 31 cm, ø 19 cm, Henchir Beni Nafaa, near Bizerte, 3rd century B.C.E.), Punic section—Bardo Museum
