AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Alabaster vase with light veining. The elongated oval body, with a rounded base, is crowned by a short cylindrical neck ending in a wide flared mouth with a thick, softened lip. Two small opposite lateral pegs are placed at the top of the body. The interior is carefully hollowed, the finely polished surface highlighting the translucency as well as the natural variations of the stone. This type of vase was used to contain and transport precious oils, unguents, or perfumes, both in daily life and within funeral practices.
