AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ビザンチン期の陶器製容器で、中空の不均一な球体本体を有し、底は丸く安定している。上部は短い頸部へと立ち上がり、厚い縁の小さな口へと細く絞られている。表面には装飾はなく、頭部上部の周囲に二つの単純な環状溝があるだけである。この種の器は「グリック・ファイア（ギリシャ火）」と呼ばれる爆発性液体で満たされ、手榴弾として使用されていた。表面には土着の付着物が覆う。経年とともに生じた擦り傷、ピッチング、胴部の欠けなど、使用による摩耗の迹が見られる。胴の大半には大きなへこみがある。
ギリシャ火、別名「液体火」とも呼ばれるのは、ビザンチン軍の最も有名な武器であり、何世紀にもわたりアラブの襲撃からビザンツ帝国を救ってきた。防衛と攻撃の双方で使用され、帝国の生存にとって重要な役割を果たした。可燃性混合物の配合は長い間厳重に管理され、帝国の崩壊後には回復不能なく失われた。その正確な成分は今日でも知られていないが、研究によれば石油を重要な成分として用いた可能性が示唆されている。器の平均サイズと握り具合から、近距離戦闘で手投げされたと推定されるが、長距離戦闘や海上戦での使用も排除されない。石像はおそらく投石機で投げられたと考えられる。
寸法：（概略）L 11cm x W 8cm
来歴：個人コレクションとして英国の私蔵より、1990年代に取得。
