Corinth kofon. The Louvre. 550-500 cc. BC e.

Kofon , Koton dr. κώθων , lat. Kothon ), also an exaleptron - the traditional name for an ancient Greek vessel with a low, concave inward edge and one, two or four handles; the base was sometimes made in the form of a tripod. As a result, the vessel was a kind of "shedding". This form is due to the fact that the vessel was used to pour oil during the cult. The oil could only evaporate.

The cofon was used on a journey, it was especially used between soldiers during campaigns; it was a bottle with a narrow neck, with handles and rather convex sides; it was made of special clay, which had the property of purifying water from dirt.
