Pilgrim souvenir ("blessing") of St Menas in the shape of a circular flask with a rather short neck and two handles. There are relief images of St Menas flanked by camels on both sides.
Saint Menas (285 - ca. 309 CE) was an Egyptian soldier in the Roman army martyred because of his refusal to recant his Christian faith. Due to the many healing miracles that are attributed to his intercession, he became one of the most well-known Egyptian saints. Saint Menas is traditionally depicted with two kneeling camels.
