Terracotta aryballos (perfume bottle) in the shape of a woman's head

Terracotta aryballos (perfume bottle) in the shape of a woman's head. Culture: Greek, Attic. Dimensions: H. 4 7/16 in. (11.3 cm). Date: ca. 500 B.C.. In an object such as this one, the appurtenances related to its function are limited to the spout and small handles at the top. Thus, the demarcation between a vase, a terracotta, and a sculpture is narrow indeed.
