Corinthian Animal Style Pyxis
The pyxis was a container used to hold cosmetics, jewelry, and other small items. The friezes of real and fantastic animals decorating this example are characteristic of Corinthian art. The style and subject matter were strongly influenced by the art of the ancient Near East. In the 7th century B.C., the Greeks came into close contact with their neighbors to the east, where repetitive bands of animal decoration were common.
