A lekythos is a jug with a single wide handle and a narrow neck combined with a wide mouth, which allowed the amount of oil to be controlled. It was used to hold oils and is generally associated with funeral rituals, as several lekythoi have been found alongside bodies in various burials. They are also closely associated with purification rituals and feminine hygiene sessions, as they were part of everyday household items.
