Cosmetic articles were important items in the Egyptian household throughout ancient history. These makeup items consisted of mirrors, spoons, combs, hairpins, and pots for kohl, an eye paint used to enhance beauty and protect the eyes.
Vases, used to store perfume, ointments, and oils, were created in pleasing forms and considered true works of art.
These vases were made of wood, ivory, stone, faience, and metal. They were fashioned in the elaborate shapes of animals, human beings, birds, fish, lotus flowers, or insects.
Vases were found in tombs as part of the funerary equipment. They were depicted in wall decorations near the figure of the deceased or the deity.
