Roman Syria Palaestina, Glass Sprinkler Jug, c. 3rd - 4th Century A.D.
|Glass| |Antiquities|, |Roman| |Syria| |Palaestina,| |Glass| |Sprinkler| |Jug,| |c.| |3rd| |-| |4th| |Century| |A.D.|, Sprinkler jugs like this may have been used to store and dispense scented oil which was rubbed on the skin and then scraped off to clean the body before bathing. We believe this type of sprinkler jug may have also been used for funerals in the Levante. Filled with perfumed oil, a diaphragm in the neck made it easy to sprinkle the perfume one drop at time during services. After the funeral, these sprinkler jugs may have been left in the tomb to slowly effuse their remaining contents.
