Descripción
Standard tall lykythoi of cylindrical shape, typically white-ground, and used primarily in funerary rituals, which is known from their excavation from cemeteries and the subjects depicted on them. Late in the fifth century some massive examples of the shape were produced, serving perhaps as equivalents for stone grave markers.
