AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

ビザンツ様式の灰褐色の陶器容器で、空洞の球形本体の先端が尖った底部を有します。上部は短く狭い首部へと立ち上がり、厚い縁にやや広がって小さな口をつけています。胴体と口縁には欠け、へこみ、表面のピット状の摩耗が見られます。土着物の付着物や表面の変色もあります。

この品は『Greek Fire』と呼ばれる爆発性の液体で満たされ、手榴弾として用いられていたと考えられます。Greek Fire(液体の炎)はビザンツ帝国の兵器の中で最も有名で、長い間、異国の攻撃からビザンツ人を守ってきました。防御と攻撃の両方の場面で使用され、帝国の生存において重要な役割を果たしました。可燃性混合物の配合は長い間厳重に管理され、帝国崩壊後には回収不能となり、その正確な組成は今日まで不明のままです。その平均的な大きさとグリップから、短距離戦闘で手投げに用いられたと考えられますが、長距離戦や海戦での手榴弾としての使用をも否定するものではありません。カタパルトで投げられた可能性が高いからです。

Measurements: L 11.3cm x W 8.5cm

Provenance: Ex private UK collection, acquired 1990s.
