Rodocanachi, 1880., 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. On the other hand, the so-called piriform shape (from the Latin pirus, meaning “pear”) is characteristic of the Roman era, especially the early Principate., Complete but chipped., H. 12.2; Ø body 3.6; Ø base 2.0; Ø rim 1.7.BrukadHellenisticÄgdNationalmuseum, Stockholmimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/tn/3792919/representationhttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/zoom/3792920/representationhttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#byKaneberg, OveStatens museer för världskulturhttp://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/Photograph/3913606http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/html/3102070http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/xml/3102070http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/rdf/3102070
