English summary: The catalogue of all the Egyptian terracotta objects of the Hellenistic and Roman periods in the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest. The presentation of the individual pieces includes a full discussion of their relative chronology and their iconography. Since the material is mostly of unknown provenance, it has been possible to propose a dating almost exclusively on the basis of careful stylistic analysis. Italian description: La catalogazione di tutti gli oggetti in terracotta egiziani di epoca ellenistica e romana conservati nel Museum of Fine Arts di Budapest. La presentazione dei singoli pezzi comprende unampia discussione sulla loro cronologia relativa e sulla loro iconografia. Trattandosi infatti per la maggior parte di materiale di cui non si conosce la provenienza, e stato possibile proporre una datazione quasi esclusivamente sulla base di unaccurata analisi stilistica.

Alabaster
Cut from one piece of stone, this perfume flask consists of a tall, slender body terminating at the top in the form of a woman holding a lotus flower in her right hand and a splayed base embellished above with four conjoined female heads in high relief. The neck and rim are now missing, and the back of the body is also badly corroded, revealing part of the narrow drilled tube that held the... contents. The flask belongs to a small group of sculptured stone alabastra; some of them may have been produced in the East, perhaps by Phoenician craftsmen, but others, found at Etruscan sites in central Italy, are seen as local adaptations. When it was first published, in 1963, this highly elaborate and unusual example was regarded as an Etruscan work. Despite its Orientalizing style, the heads on the flask, with their sharp, rather rudimentary features, recall other Etruscan sculptures of the late seventh and sixth centuries B.C.
