This is the rating and price for A Terracotta Souvenir Pilgrim Flask, Coptic Egypt


Description : A terracotta souvenir pilgrim flask, Coptic Egypt, c. AD 480 - 650, one side depicting Saint Menas flanked by camels, his arms outstretched in blessing. Above each arm is a quincunx, representing a cross, all within a beaded circular border, H: 3 1/2 in. Deposits throughout. Cf. Bailey, Ptolemaic and Roman Terracottas from Egypt, p. 117, no. 3415.

They have been deduced to have contained holy water or oil from the shrine. Ex Southern California private collection.
