=Toilet Boxes.=--Other relics of the dressing-table are the toilet-boxes and scent-bottles. There is a Greek toilet-box from Naukratis still coloured by the rouge which it contained (No. =403=); and another has a carved wooden lid in the shape of a woman's head of great beauty (No. =404=). A leaden box was found in a Greek tomb at Halikarnassos (No. =405=). Another was given by Kratylos of Aegina to Eulimine. The inscription, the modern turn of which is perhaps not free from suspicion, describes it as a "slight token of respect from a certain small Aeginetan" (No. =406=; fig. 165).[43] Other boxes of bronze and ivory date from the Roman period. Most of the wooden boxes are carved in fantastic or frivolous shapes: a swimming duck, a crouching boar, and a shoe (Nos. =407=, =408=, =409=). These are divided into compartments for the various powders, and some blocks of paint are still preserved. For liquid ointments there are an alabaster box (No. =410=) and three bottles of the same material and remains of a leather bottle with its cork (No. =411=). An Etruscan bronze _cista_, which stands on three human feet, contains a set of movable tubes, each for a different unguent (No. =412=). The lid of this receptacle was crowned by the small bronze statuette which stands beside it. Besides cosmetics for the complexion, the toilet-boxes may have held tooth-powders, for which there are many receipts in the works of ancient writers on medicine. =Mirrors.=--For mirrors the ancients were at a disadvantage. The use of glass was known, but was not common, and the ordinary reflecting medium was a sheet of burnished metal. There are, however, two genuine looking-glasses--one in a leaden frame, from Olbia (No. =413=), and the other set, with several fragments, in a plaster slab, from Gheyta, in Egypt (No. =414=). The glass was probably backed with foil, and it is remarkable that the reflectors are convex, so that the image must have been distorted. A similar surface is attempted on the square sheet of metal, which is glazed with a vitreous enamel (No. =415=). [Illustration: FIG. 165.--TOILET BOX OF EULIMINE (NO. 406).]
