The shape and use of this characteristic food preparation vessel have remained unchanged from antiquity to our day. This wheel-made, slipped strainer is partially preserved. It has a hemispherical body covered with irregular holes, which were pierced while the clay was still wet, and a wide slanted rim decorated with an engraved wavy line. Byzantine strainers are rarely found in excavations and are seldom complete, which makes it difficult to establish a typology for them.
