cistae (toiletry containers) (<containers for personal grooming and hygiene>, <containers for personal use>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Lidded, cylindrical containers decorated with engravings; found in graves of the 4th–3rd centuries BCE around the city of Praeneste (Palestrina). Used by the Etruscans to store toiletries and objects such as bronze mirrors, smaller vessels, and jewelry. Made of hammered bronze, cistae have low-profile domed lids with cast handles often in the shape of two or three human figures, feature engraved decoration derived from mythological subjects, and often stand on clawed feet. These are thought to be gifts both for the living and ceremonial offerings for the dead.
