Oil or perfume flasks in the form of human figures were popular in the 4th century BC. They combine the red-figured technique at the rear with the polychrome decoration at the front that is usually associated with terracottas. This vessel is brightly painted and the helmet and jewellery were gilded, some of which survives.
