Description
DESCRIPTION: (3 Pc) Grouping set of antique terracotta Roman cinerary urn pottery vessels, probably ancient circa 1st Century AD. This set includes a pair of large vessels with rounded shoulders and narrow bottom, and one handled vessel.

Survivors of the deceased collected cremated remains (ossa or cineres) of their loved ones and deposited the combination of ash and bone in vessels typically identified as cinerary urns, ash altars, ash chests, or ossuaries.
