Arne in Turkey or Syria., 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., Urval Syriska berättelser, Rim might be missing., H. 8,1 cm, W. 4,8 cm, Ø of rim 1,5 cm., Showcase 5, Berättelser från Syrien, Exhibition; showcase 05:09.FörvärvadArne, Ture J:son, Statens Historiska museumBrukadRomanimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/tn/3795253/representationhttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/zoom/3795254/representationhttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#cc0Kaneberg, OveUtgången upphovsrättimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/tn/4279970/SHM+14305%3B0006%28alt01%29.jpghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/zoom/4279969/SHM+14305%3B0006%28alt01%29.jpghttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#byJeppsson, JohanStatens museer för världskulturimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/tn/4279975/SHM+14305%3B0006%28alt02%29.jpghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/zoom/4279974/SHM+14305%3B0006%28alt02%29.jpghttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#byJeppsson, JohanStatens museer för världskulturimage/jpeghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/tn/4279980/SHM+14305%3B0006%28alt03%29.jpghttps://collections.smvk.se/carlotta-mhm/web/image/zoom/4279979/SHM+14305%3B0006%28alt03%29.jpghttp://kulturarvsdata.se/resurser/License#byJeppsson, JohanStatens museer för världskulturhttp://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/Photograph/3920547http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/exhibition/4278385http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/exhibition/3953831http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/exhibitionpart/3953853http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-EM/name/1021079http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-EM/name/1021365http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/html/3102479http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/xml/3102479http://kulturarvsdata.se/SMVK-MM/objekt/rdf/3102479
