AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ビザンツ帝国期の陶器製容器で、内部が中空の不均一な球形の胴体と先端の尖った底部を持つ。上部は短い首へと立ち上がり、厚い縁の小さな口に細く絞られている。上部肩の周囲には二本の簡素な環状の溝が施されている。そのような品は“Greek Fire”として知られる爆発性液体を満たして手榴弾として使用されたと考えられている。表面には土っぽい被膜が付着している。年齢に伴う傷みの跡、擦り傷、ピット、胴体の欠けなど、使用による摩耗が見られる。手榴弾の底部近くには二つの大きな欠けがあり、胴体の他の部分にもへこみや欠けがある。
Greek Fire（リキッドファイア）とも呼ばれ、ビザンツ帝国の武器庫で最も有名な武器だった。何世紀にもわたりアラブの攻撃からビザンツ人を守ってきた。防御と攻撃の両方の状況で使用され、帝国の存続において重要な役割を果たした。可燃性の混合物の配合は何世紀にもわたり厳重に秘匿され、帝国崩壊とともに回収不能となった。その正確な組成は今日まで知られていないが、研究は原油を重要な成分として使用した可能性を示唆している。平均的な大きさと握りからすると、近距離戦闘で手投げされたと考えられるが、遠距離戦や海上戦での使用を否定するものではない。投石機で投げられることが最も想定されていた。
Measurements: （circa）L 12.5cm × W 10cm
Provenance: Ex private UK collection, acquired 1990s.
