Sculpture
This small vessel, fashioned from a single block of stone to hold fine cosmetics or ointments, once included a lid which swiveled to one side. The carving on the pyxis shows two double-headed sphinxes, a deer gazing at a large bird, and two banqueters at a table piled high with loaves of bread.
