Anotations

Scope note:

Vessels used for one or more particular ritual activities, often for sacrificial offerings or consumption of food and wine as part of a ceremony. In some disciplines, this term is preferred over the slightly less descriptive "ceremonial vessels," but in other disciplines the meanings overlap and the distinction is moot.
