It is a kind of ancient Greek ceramic container, usually used to hold oil, perfume or condiments. It has a cylindrical body, a narrow neck and deep mouth, and a handle extending from the shoulder to below the neck. Usually used as burial objects for the deceased. In the classical period, especially in the 5th century BC, this type of container was very popular in Athens, possibly derived from the shape of Corinth. Discovered at the Kamarina site in Sicily, Italy, it is a product of the classical period, made around the 5th century BC. It is currently housed in the Igleio Archaeological Museum in Ragusa. This provides valuable physical evidence for us to understand ancient Greek culture and religious customs.
