Vessel for perfumed oil in the form of a Kore belonging to the so called Aphrodite-Group. It was found in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe in fragments, was reassembled and restored.

The Kore is clad in a long-sleeved chiton and over this a himation. She holds a pigeon in her left hand and with the right she is pulling aside her garment to facilitate her step. Her long hair forms curls that fall onto her chest. Traces of red colour are retained on her dress. A spout with wide rim is located on top of her head.
