Spiegelthal to the National Museum, Stockholm, in 1870., An unguentarium (pl. unguentaria) is a small container, typically made of clay or glass, for oil and perfumes. They are mostly associated with Hellenistic and Roman contexts, especially as grave goods. The so-called fusiform shape (from the Latin fusus, meaning “spindle”) is characteristic of Hellenistic unguentaria and is thought to have developed functionally from the lekythos.
