Ceramic replica of a red-figured oil-flask (lekythos), made according to the original ancient technique. The original was made in an Attic workshop (475 - 450 BC) and depicts a male figure leaning on his staff with a strigil (stlengis) in his hand. Stlengis were tools used by athletes to scrape oil and dirt off their bodies.
