Title A name given to the resource Pilgrim Flask with Scenes of St. Menas Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://iiif.harvardartmuseums.org/manifests/object/191132 Subject The topic of the resource Pilgrim Flask with Scenes of St. Menas, 4th-7th century, terra-cotta, 9.4 x 6.9 x 2.3 cm (3 11/16 x 2 11/16 x 7/8 in.), Harvard Art Museums Description An account of the resource Description Both sides of this terracotta ampulla (pilgrim flask) are decorated with the same scene in relief: Saint Menas in prayer, flanked by two kneeling camels within a circular border of dots or studs. The saint stands frontally, arms held open; the long folds of his cloak are visible as vertical lines on either side of his body; there may be crosses depicted in the space on either side of his head. The body of the flask was created with a two-piece mold; the handles were made separately and attached before firing. The relief is worn and difficult to read; there is some discoloration on the vessel, particularly on the raised details. Commentary Flasks bearing images of Saint Menas are not uncommon in Egypt. Menas was a Roman soldier who was martyred; veneration of him as a saint centered on an oasis near Alexandria. On better-preserved ampullae bearing the same scene, the details of Menas' clothing (tunic, boots, and cloak, perhaps in the style of the later Roman military) are much clearer; the border type varies between the dot/stud motif and chevrons. Some examples bear inscriptions or depictions of crosses above the saint's arms.
