AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

ビザンチン様式の陶磁器容器で、胴部は中空の球形をなし、底部はやや先尖っている。上方へと短く狭い首が立ち、口縁は小さく外方へ開いている。肩の一側には、二つの深く彫られた円の下に、半円を刻みつけた群が装飾されている。胴の他の部分は魚鱗のような模様で覆われている。そのような品は爆発性液体「ギリシャの炎(Greek Fire)」で満たされ、手榴弾として使用されたと考えられる。表面には地衣の沈着と時代相応の使用痕、胴部の表面には小さな反りやピットなどが見られる。口部の欠けあり。

ギリシャの炎は、別名液体火とも呼ばれ、ビザンチン軍の最も有名な武器の一つであり、アラブの攻撃から何世紀にもわたりビザンツ帝国を守ってきた。防御と攻撃の両方で用いられ、帝国の生存に寄与した。可燃性混合物の配合は何世紀にもわたり厳重に秘匿され、帝国崩壊後には取り返しのつかない形で失われた。その正確な組成は今日まで不明のままであるが、研究では石油が重要な成分とされている。平均的なサイズと握りからすると、近距離の戦闘で手投げとして用いられたことが示唆されるが、長距離戦や海戦での手榴弾の使用を否定するものではない。石像を投げる投石器によって投げられた可能性が高い。

測定値:(概略)L12cm×W7.5cm
