Description
Old Kingdom, ca. 2686-2160 BC.
A handsome vessel, meticulously crafted from stone that exhibits a stunning texture and form. The vessel's smooth and polished surface is impressive, and its tall form with incurved walls and broad opening adds a sense of grace and elegance to the piece. The circular, flat base anchors the vessel in place, providing a sense of stability and balance. Egyptian stone vessels such as this one were used for a variety of purposes, including storage of liquids, oils, and perfumes, as well as offerings to the gods. The vessel was likely considered a valuable and prized possession, both for its functionality and its beauty.
