Description: Undecorated wooden triple kohl tube/pot comprising two joined cylindrical components with a ridge on one side where the two meet. Three holes run through the container: one each along the length of the two cylinders and a third down the centre. A fourth hole is present opposite the central kohl tube, filled by part of a wooden dowel; this would probably have been for the purpose of holding the lid (now lost) in place. No traces of kohl remain. Inscriptions / Translations: Uninscribed Bibliography: On kohl pots, see: Notes: These tubes were for the storage of kohl (eye-paint) which would have been extracted using a kohl stick. |
