    The specimen represents an unguentarium, usually a perfume bottle. However, many of the herbs used by Romans for cosmetics - henna, iris, and saffron, had medicinal value as well, so it is not surprising that bottles that so often assumed to have been containing perfumes were sometimes employed for the storage of astringents and soothing lotions.
