Stlengis and aryballos

Bronze replica of a strigil (stlengis) of c. 450 - 400 BC and a ceramic reproduction of a globular Corinthian flask (aryballus) dated to c. 600 - 575 BC. Both objects were used by athletes, a stlengis for scraping oil and dirt off their bodies after the end of the contests, and an aryballus for storing and transporting essences.
