Beautiful replica of an ancient Greek Corinthian alabastron (perfume vase), featuring the mythological storm giant Typhon.Function: These vessels were primarily used in ancient Greece for holding perfumes, oils, or ointments.Design: The design is typical of the Corinthian period (roughly 620–590 BCE), featuring an elongated shape, a wide flat mouth, and decorative rosettes in the background. The replica is hand-painted in Greece, depicting a winged, snake-tailed giant, often identified as Typhon or a similar monstrous figure. I'm not aware of the age. It has been in possession of our family for a long time.
