Lebes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lebes (Greek 'λέβης', plural lebetes) is a type of ancient Greek cauldron, normally in bronze. It is a deep bowl with a rounded bottom. It was often supported by a sacrificial tripod.[1] In classical times, a foot was attached and it was typically used as a cooking pot.
