English: The cosmetic vessel consists of a hedgehog shaped body on a small rectangular plinth, a neck with large lip, and a handle on top of the animal's back. The prickly body of this hedgehog is shown by a cross-hatched pattern. The eyes and the markings on the body have been added in a brownish-black glaze. The head has a long extended snout, slightly protruding eyes, as well as large ears that set up attentively, and with vertical line hatching. The protruding fringe above the forehead is also accentuated with black color.
Perfume of cosmetic containers in the shape of a hedgehogs became common during the 6th and 5th century BC, and were probably invented in the Greek colony of Naukratis and the Western Delta region of Egypt. However, hedgehog representation on ships, and hedgehog statuettes were common in ancient Egypt from the 3rd millennium BC. His body armor symbolized protection, and in addition he was seen as one of the sun gods special animals.
