Ancient Roman small hand-carved amethyst cosmetic or unguent jar. The vessel has a rounded, bulbous body with gently curving shoulders and a slightly flaring foot. The thick, neatly shaped rim tapers into a short neck.

Hand-carved stone jars made from precious materials such as amethyst, rock crystal or alabaster were typically used as cosmetic or unguent containers. They stored perfumed oils, ointments, balms, cosmetic creams or medicinal preparations. The durability and non-porous nature of the stone helped protect these costly substances from spoiling.

The material shows attractive natural colour zoning, shifting from deep violet to soft lavender and smoky translucent grey, with cloudy inclusions and subtle natural fractures.

A compact and beautifully shaped vessel, valued both for its craftsmanship and the natural beauty of the stone. The rounded body, thickly modelled rim and simple turned foot are more typical of Roman luxury cosmetic containers, especially those carved in rock crystal, amethyst or alabaster.
