<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2971675, member: 56859&quot;]Thanks for your ongoing efforts!&nbsp; I wonder when the names we&#039;re giving to the vessel (oinochoe, urnula, hydreion, etc) were conceived-- contemporary with the coin, or by researchers at a later day?</p><p><br /></p><p>I did a quick google for urnula and found gobs of image of cup fungi <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Narrowing it down by adding &quot;Egyptian&quot; fixed that but didn&#039;t lead to more hits.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure we&#039;ll come up with more <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still hoping to learn more about the inverted droplets on my coin&#039;s vessel.&nbsp; Per Dattari, they are uraei.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think that is correct.&nbsp; Perhaps I&#039;m becoming too invested in the &quot;resurrection of Osiris ritual corn mummy watering can&quot; theory <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!&nbsp; It really is a remarkable example.&nbsp; The detail on the canopus is amazing for such a tiny canvas!&nbsp; Comparing it to the Osiris-Canopus from Hadrian&#039;s Villa, most of the design elements are represented:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]729157[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
