  • Faliscan - Refers to the style of artistic production in Falerii now present day Cività Castellana in central Italy. Known mainly as a significant center of red-figure pottery during the 4th century BCE, works of art include red-figure vases produced by the Aurora Painter and the Nazzano Painter.
  • lids - Covers for the opening at the top of a vessel or other receptacle, or which close the mouth of an aperture; lids may be detached or turned upon a hinge in order to give access to the interior.
  • pyxides - Relatively small, squat lidded boxlike vessels for holding cosmetics and toilet articles in ancient Greece. Generally cylindrical in shape. Often found in the graves of women and warriors.
