Core-formed juglet pendants (items one and two) date to the 4th Century A.D. and are thought to have originated in the Holy Land. Their use is contested; it has been suggested they were tomb offerings, considered to have a magical-amuletic function, or simply used as miniature scent bottles that were worn on the body. See Spaer, 2001, p. 171ff.
