Second Century Bronze Temple Jug, Tullie House Museum and Gallery, Carlisle and Cumbria, 4.11.18.

The handle of this jug has a number of images relating to Roman sacrifice. At the base, a soldier and a priest prepare to sacrifice a pig. Above this an offering is being poured onto an altar. The upper two images are worn with use. This decoration suggests the jug was owned by a temple and a gift from a wealthy worshipper.
