Description:
|
|
Attic (Greek) original from the first half of the 4th century BCE; purchased in Greece. The lekythos form is a usually tall and slender narrow-necked vessel used for oil and unguents and as an offering for the dead. These were made of ceramic and painted, frequently in the white ground style. The standard or cylindrical lekythos measures between 30 and 50 cm; this is what is called a "huge lekythos", up to 1 m, in marble, which may have been used to replace a funerary stele.
