UNGUENTARIUM An unguentarium is a small, cylindrical vessel used to hold oil or oil-based perfume. Unguentaria are usually just a couple of centimeters tall and without handles. They have a bulge either in the middle or at the bottom of the vessel; some are flat bottomed and some are footed.
WEST SLOPE DECORATION “West Slope Decoration” takes its name from the site where it was first discovered, on the west slope of the Athenian acropolis. It is a technique of painting, usually in white or beige, on an already fired black glaze vessel. It was developed in Athens in the late fourth century BC. Floral, marine, or geometric motifs are most common.
