A small ivory pyxis jarThis object would have been used to hold ointment, make-up or perfume and was probably owned by a woman. I adore these domestic kinds of objects the most because they are tangible evidence that home, family and spiritual iconography were important to women during this period (3rd - 7th centuries).
