For a discussion on the different types of head flasks, see Stern, 1995, pp. 201-215, and for an almost identical flask cf. pp. 221-222, no. 141. Stern notes that head flasks of this type are "one of the earliest double head-shaped vessels made in the eastern Mediterranean. About half the known examples are opaque white".
