The lekythos is a particular type of Greek vase, which frequently served as a burial gift in the 5th century before Christ. Furthermore they were used as vessels for the female toilette, as well as for the storage and conservation of precious liquids, like olive oil and various aromatic oils. While the shape is characteristic and did not change significantly, there are different types in decoration: black-figure, red-figure and painting on white ground examples.
