Globular aryballos (a form of pottery used to contain oils and perfumes). Greece, Corinth, 7th century BC. The decoration is a geometric pattern using lines and dots in black and red pigment. “These perfume vessels offer a narrow neck and a wide lip which could be used to spread the fragrant oils on the skin. They are typical of Corinthian ceramics” (Spiteris:1965). Bibliography (for this item)Spiteris, Tony1965 La peinture grecque et étrusque. Rencontre, Lausanne, Swizerland. |
