Exhibited Egyptian Coptic Pottery St. Menas Flask

Item Details

Description

Egypt, Romano-Egyptian to Coptic Period, ca. 4th to 7th century CE. A mold-formed pottery flask depicting Saint Menas, an early Christian martyr, on both sides. One side shows St. Menas standing with his arms out in a gesture of prayer while a camel lays recumbent to either side of him, and the other side of the vessel displays a Coptic cross. Flasks of Saint Menas like this example were used by pilgrims to Menas' shrine - built southwest of Alexandria in Egypt - to hold oil from the lamp that burned above Menas' tomb. Size: 0.75" L x 2.47" W x 3.35" H (1.9 cm x 6.3 cm x 8.5 cm)
