Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A beautiful mold-formed faience jar with a flat base, an ovoid body with tapering shoulders, and a flared rim. The vessel exhibits traces of the original light-blue and dark-blue glaze across most surfaces. The incised central cartouche, which is comprised of four hieroglyphic symbols within an ovoid border, was added sometime after the creation of the vessel - likely in modern times - and does not depict the cartouche of any known pharaoh. Size: 2.5" W x 4" H (6.4 cm x 10.2 cm).
