It is a term used in ancient Greece to refer to various types of small bottles, which share the common feature of being used as containers for holding oil. It is a jar with a narrow bottleneck and a deep mouth. This container is not only used to store oil, ointment and perfume in the family, but also the l é cito decorated with a white background is used as a sacrifice to the dead. This work was produced in the Attica region around 500 BC and belongs to the Athenian painter. The scene depicts the sea god Poseidon riding a seahorse. Now collected at Yale University.
