Terracotta pyxis (box)
Women and Erotes
The representation here probably has some relation to rituals for the goddess Aphrodite that took place in an outdoor, garden-like setting. Particularly conspicuous is the woman seated on a rock-like formation and isolated between two vertical foliate bands. The other figures include Erotes, a winged woman resembling Nike, and women with household furnishings such as a casket and kalathos (wool basket).
