Given to him by the Italian authorities to commemorate his presence at the opening of the grave., An alabastron (pl. alabastra) is a long-bodied vessel, typically with a rounded bottom. It is usually without a handle, although some examples have short handles (or eyes or lugs) through which a string could be attached. The name is derived from alabaster, the white-ground stone that the earliest examples were carved from. They seem to primarily have been a vessel for perfumed oil, as indicated by scenes on vases depicting it being used by women after bathing., Excavated with the help of the Lerici Foundation., Some paint gone.
