To this day, containers for transporting liquids are among the objects that best represent the idea of movement, travel, exploration. They have a very ancient origin and spread throughout the Mediterranean area in similar shapes produced from materials of organic or artificial origin. Among the most common types that have come down to us, the terracotta water bottle is a tool designed to be easily anchored to the belt or to be carried over the shoulder thanks to the support of a lanyard. The container, commonly referred to as the “pilgrim’s flask”, has a lenticular shape, relatively small dimensions and a decoration that personalizes the object. The flask of a traveller from the late medieval period found in Saepinum has in fact a proto-majolica decoration, which covered both sides of the rounded body with floral motifs in shades of green, ochre and blue; the drink was poured out through the high neck while the two side handles allowed it to be transported.
