**Originally Listed At $600**

Greece, Archaic Period, ca. 6th century BCE. A finely carved alabastron, with a teardrop shaped body, twin low-relief handles, a short attenuated neck, a dramatically flared, flat rim, and narrow mouth - all upon a rounded base. The natural lines of the alabaster creates bands of creamy white, beige, and earthier brown. When held up to the light, the piece shows partial translucence. Alabastra are long-bodied vessels with flat disks for the mouth. The shape was common in Corinth, and came to Athens in the sixth century BCE - this is an early example of one of these. The term alabastron is Greek with Egyptian origins, and many of the oldest examples are painted white, perhaps in imitation of the stone. This example displays the natural color of alabaster. Alabastra were used to hold perfumed oil; in fact, scenes on painted vases show women using them to apply it after bathing. Size: 6.125" H (15.6 cm); 6.375" H (16.2 cm) on included custom stand.
