Description
An ancient Greek Attic black-figure lekythos oil vase, dating back to circa 500 BC, featuring a remarkable testament to the artistic excellence of ancient Greek pottery. The lekythos, characterized by its slender form and narrow neck, was commonly used to store oil and perfumes and often placed in tombs as offerings.
