CASES 22—23. VASES. 
The relation of the various forms of vases to their uses is not easy 
to determine ; some appear in the hieroglyphic texts to have been appro¬ 
priated to particular substances,—as wax, wine, liquids, &c. The 
smaller and more elegant are supposed to have held unguents, perfumes, 
&c., for the toilet; the larger and coarser, domestic objects, as wine, 
eatables, &c.; others again contain varnish, bitumen, &c. The follow¬ 
ing appear most worthy of remark : —
