DescriptionDouble unguentarium made from a cylinder that was folded to create two tubes. The rounded base is flattened at the bottom. A trailed-on thread encircles both necks and continues down the body. Two flattened coil handles are applied to the sides and pulled up to the edge of the rim, and a basket handle is applied to the tops of the side handles. The handles are of a color similar to the vessel. The rim is folded inward.On View
