Pottery vessel in miniature form, soft orange slip, domed-like body on either side, short conical neck with rounded hollowed flaring mouth, flanked by two arched strap-like handles. Typically carried by travelers and pilgrims, these small flasks were obtained at holy sites to carry home water or oil from the lamps burning in the sanctuaries visited. 2-1/4"H x 1-7/8"W, intact/generally very good condition, save minor lip roughness and surface encrustation. PROVENANCE: Ex-private NJ Collection, ex-Colosseum Coin Exchange. Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee |
