However, many variants of the shape do exist, including the rounded, squat form and the ovoid “Deianeira” form, all in various sizes. They were used for the storage of oils and are especially associated with funerary contexts. Towards the end of the fourth century BC they were functionally replaced by the unguentaria., Decoration on body modern. Äldre bilder A. Stalteri., Mended. Mouth chipped. Some slip gone., H 21.8.
