This vase is made out of marble and is an example known today of a Roman vessel with a strigilated pattern carved on the body. The elongated S-shaped channels were a popular form of relief decoration on vases and sarcophagi. The decoration was inspired by the second and third century A.D. I like the broad shoulder part of the vase where the handles meet. I like the intricate detailed curves, dents, and lines in the vase as well.-Dani Young
