Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $400**

Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A fine jar of a squat form, hand-carved from creamy-yellow alabaster with integral tan and white bands coursing throughout. The vessel boasts a flat base, an apple-shaped body with a rounded shoulder, and a thick rim. The drilled interior cavity has a conical shape and would have likely held copious amounts of kohl eye makeup. The exterior of the vessel has been meticulously polished to an incredibly-smooth texture, making this an exceptional example of skillful Egyptian stone-carving! Size: 2.75" W x 2.7" H (7 cm x 6.9 cm).
