The original object comes from the pre classical period or the "Orientalization" period (around 700-600 BC) and is now collected in the National Museum of Athens. It is a container used in ancient Greece to store cosmetics, jewelry, or other small accessories, usually with a unique lid and handle. Known for its exquisite decorations and vivid animal patterns, these patterns reflect the achievements of the exchange between Greek art and Near Eastern civilization at that time. Craftsmen abandoned traditional geometric vase painting designs and instead adopted new Eastern designs, such as exotic Chimera and Sphinx, fierce beasts and prey, as well as floral rose decorations and palm leaf patterns.
