EDITORS COMMENTS

The alabastron, a container for scented oil, has a rich history dating back to the 5th century BCE. The Diosphos Painter, known for his exquisite craftsmanship, created one of these beautiful vessels during this time period, and is believed that this particular alabastron was used in ancient Greek weddings as part of the ceremonial rituals. Moving forward in time, another alabastron from the 3rd-1st century BCE captures our attention. Its creator remains unknown but its intricate design and delicate features showcase the skill and artistry of ancient craftsmen. Egypt also played a significant role in the production of alabastra. A Late Period Dynasty piece from Egypt's 26th-31st dynasty showcases their unique style and artistic flair. Another Egyptian example with an inscription hails from Dynasty 26-27 (664-404 BCE), providing us with valuable insights into their culture and beliefs. In addition to their decorative purpose, these containers were practical too. Roman legionaries utilized them during sieges alongside ballistas - powerful siege weapons capable of launching projectiles at enemy fortifications. Beyond scent containers, various other artifacts caught our eye as well. A group consisting of toilet and writing utensils made from ivory highlights how everyday objects were crafted with care and attention to detail. Ceramics also played a prominent role in ancient artistry. An Attic white-ground lekythos depicts a woman and youth at a tomb, reminding us of the importance placed on honoring ancestors in Greek society. Corinthian black-figure alabastra featuring Typhon facing right demonstrate not only skilled pottery techniques but also mythical storytelling through visual representation. Glasswork was not left behind either; a core-formed amphora adorned with wave motifs from New Kingdom Egypt showcases their mastery over glassmaking techniques during this era. Lastly, Corinthian vases decorated with black figures depicting animals, fantastic creatures, and floral motifs demonstrate the diverse range of subjects that ancient artists drew inspiration from.
