Οι πυξίδες είναι κυλινδρικά αγγεία με κάλλυμα, που χρησιμοποιούνταν για τη φυλαξή ειδών καλλωπισμού, πούδρας ή κοσμημάτων. Ορισμένες τοποθετούνταν στους τάφους ως κτερίσματα. Ο όρος "σκυφοειδής πυξίδα" προσδιορίζει ένα σχήμα που αποτελούσε ειδικό προϊόν του σικελικού εργαστηρίου, με ωοειδές σώμα, κάλυμμα και δύο οριζόντιες λαβές.
