Terracotta alabastron (perfume vase) |

Object type | The alabastron is unusual in both its shape and decoration. The body is sack-like, widening distinctly toward the bottom, and the mouth is small and thick. The succession of ornaments ends in the tondo with a gorgoneion. This area of an alabastron is often specially decorated, suggesting that the objects hung freely or were handled rather than being immobilized in a stand. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
