Item Details
Description

The shoulder and rim is decorated with sun rays. Aryballi were used by athletes to hold oil that was dropped unto the body before exercise or competition. They often appear hanging by a small strap from the athlete's wrist in gymnasium scenes.

Ex. American private collection, acquired before 1980.
