otheruses2 Pyxis Image Pyxis Peleus Thetis Louvre L55.jpg thumb right 5th century Athenian Pyxis by the Wedding Painter A pyxis lang el , plural pyxides is a shape of vessel from the classical world, usually a round box with a separate lid. Originally mostly used by women to hold cosmetics, trinkets or jewellery, surviving pyxides are mostly Pottery of Ancient Greece Greek pottery , but especially in later periods may be in wood, metal, ivory , or other materials. The name derived from Corinthian boxes made of wood from the tree puksos, boxwood , that also came with covers. The shape of the vessel can be traced in pottery back to the Protogeometric period in Athens, however the Athenian pyxis has various different shapes itself. At first, the two varieties of pyxis included the pointed and the flat bottomed. The pointed pyxis didn t last much longer than the ninth century BCE, while the flat bottomed continued into the late Geometric art Geometric . It also continued to grow larger and more squat in proportions. The cover often depicts elaborately sculpted handles and the walls tend to be somewhat convex. During the sixth century BCE, however, Athens began producing boxes with concave walls that enabled them to be grasped easily when ranged close together on a shelf. ref Compare the waisted shape of the medieval and Early Modern albarello . ref Images on the pyxis usually depict the marriage procession from a young girl s house to that of her new husband. Pyx is a term for a specifically liturgical box, usually round, but of variable design, still used for holding and transporting Sacramental bread consecrated hosts in the traditional Christian churches, a use to which the church began to put these boxes at a very early date.
