The other pieces included an Apulian terra-cotta flask in the shape of an African head from the fourth century B.C.; an Ionian sculpture of a ram’s head from the sixth century; and an attic aryballos, a vessel for oil or perfume, from the early fifth century.

A green-patinated strigil is on display beside the aryballos.

This area of the gallery contains the oldest piece in the exhibition, a sixth-century B.C. aryballos, or oil flask, that was once part of an athlete’s toiletry kit.

At the left end of the relief a girl draped in plain long chiton with sleeves, and a cap with tassel, stands to the right holding an aryballos and alabastron.

Behind are a youth standing, wrapped in a mantle, and a woman who holds an aryballos in her left hand and wears her mantle over her head.
