aryballus
A type of Greek vase. In early times, the term was probably applied to a large vessel with a constricted neck used for carrying water to the bath. Today, the term is generally used to denote any bell-shaped vase with a short neck and small opening surrounded by flat rim and used for anointing with oil.
