Description
Greater Lekythos; Attic Greece, 5th century BC.
Black-figured pottery.
Restoration of fracture lines and surface wear.
Size: 21 x 6 cm (diameter).
Lekythos with a flat cylindrical base, ovoid body with a marked angle at the shoulders, high, narrow neck, thick, flared mouth and wide, vertical, ribbon-shaped handle. It is decorated with the same glazes used on red-and-black-figure ware, with large black palmettes on the main body and simple geometric motifs in the shoulder area.
The lekythos is a type of Greek pottery used to store perfumed oil for body care. This type of vessel was also widely used as a funerary vessel. It is characterised by its elongated shape, narrow neck and wide mouth, which both limits the flow of the oil and facilitates its application.
