<em>Pyxides </em>came in a huge variety of sizes, shapes, and materials in the ancient world. Images of <em>pyxides </em>in Greek art often show them being used by women, which has led scholars to believe that they may have been used to hold jewelry or cosmetics. This <em>pyxis </em>is one of few surviving examples made from stone, signifying that it may have had an elite owner.
