The article considers the ampullae and figurines produced in the Late Anti­quity in the sanctuary of St. Menas in Abu Mina. Their forms and iconography are analised in the context of the earlier traditions of greco-roman art in Egypt, in which they are clearly rooted. Both the ampullae and the figurines can be consi­dered as the manifestation of continuity of long established iconographical types in a new, Christian context.
