| A Coptic cosmetic container and applicator. Both carved from bone, the container with a geometric pattern and the applicator with a spiral end and a rooster on an open work plinth at the top. .There is a bulge in the applicator which rests on a ledge inside the container. I suppose that this was to keep the applicator from being always in the contents. I would guess that the container was for kohl, but I am not sure. Egypt circa 4th-7th cent AD. Height of container 12cm Length of applicator 15.5cm | ||
