AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

ビザンチン期の陶器製容器で、中空の球形本体と丸い底を持つ。上部は短く狭い首に立ち上がり、小さな口部を有する。肩部には5本の切り込み点を並べた模様が施され、首を取り囲む六角形パターンを形成している。胴には交互に縦線と点付き十字の模様が描かれている。このような器は“ギリシャの炎”(Greek Fire)と呼ばれる激しい液体を満たして手榴弾のように使用されたと考えられる。胴には小さな傷、表面には土泥のこびりつき、凹み・欠けが見られる。片側には変色の痕がある。

ギリシャ炎(ギリシャファイア)としても知られる液体状の炎は、ビザンチンの最も有名な武器であり、長きにわたりイスラムの攻撃から帝国を救った。防御と攻撃の両方で使用され、ビザンツ帝国の生存に大きく寄与した。この可燃性混合物の配合は長い間厳重に管理され、帝国崩壊後には取り戻せず失われた。その正確な配合は今日まで不明のままであるが、研究は石油を重要な成分として使われていたと示唆している。平均的な大きさと握り方から、手作りで近距離戦闘で投げられた器であることを示唆しているが、遠距離戦や海上戦での使用を否定するものではない。カタパルトによって投げられた可能性が高い。

寸法:幅8.6cm×高さ10.7cm

出所:元私有英国コレクション、1990年代取得。
