Meaning

An ancient two-handled clay jar, used in Greece and Rome to store and transport wine and oil. It represents antiquity, archaeology and classical history, and it is also the symbol of the astrological sign Aquarius, the water bearer. Its use is genuinely split between food storage, museum and history posts, and horoscopes — three quite different audiences using the same character.
