Explanation:
Vjerovatno ce Vam kolege kojima je istorija uza struka ponuditi bolja rjesenja, ali ako ne, evo mog prijedloga. Bazira se na grckoj rijeci "kantharos", sto, prema Bratoljubu Klaicu, moze znaciti:1.posuda za vodu na ulazima u crkve; 2.zdenac u atriju ranokrscanske bazilike; 3.starogrcka posuda za pice.(Pogledajte site.) Isti autor navodi rijec "kantara" koja je latinskog porijekla i znaci "bakreni lonac". Pretpostavljam da imate sliku koju opisujete, pa cete je moci uporediti sa ovim sto predlazem.
