Green, opaque glass.NM Ant 1807, 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., Discoloured in patches., H. 13.5 cm., Showcase 5, Exhibition; showcase 05:08.BrukadLate RomanÄgdNationalmuseum, Stockholmimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/tn/3795172/representationhttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/zoom/3795173/representationhttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#byKaneberg, OveStatens museer för världskulturhttp://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/Photograph/3920514http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/exhibition/3953831http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/exhibitionpart/3953695http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/html/3102452http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/xml/3102452http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/rdf/3102452
