The style of this vessel classifies it as belonging to the so-called Tell el-Jahudiya ware. Its unique shape conveys a realistic image of the insect with its large eyes and a pair of wings. The legs of the fly are rendered rather like hands. The cross-hatching on the rear body of the fly is perhaps merely decorative, but may have some unknown significance.
