Item Details
Description
**First Time At Auction**

Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic, ca. 652 to 300 BCE. Finely carved from a pretty near-translucent, pale cream and brown alabaster stone with banded inclusions, this is a rounded vessel with a corseted shoulder and a dramatically flared, flat rim surrounding a wide mouth - all upon a flat base. Hold this jar to the light, and you will be able to appreciate the marvelous translucency of the stone. This type of vessel was oftentimes used to hold cosmetics; the Egyptians are known for favoring cosmetics such as black kohl painted around the eyes. Size: 3.1" W x 3.75" H (7.9 cm x 9.5 cm)

Provenance: private New Jersey, USA collection, acquired 2020; ex-private French collection, France, before 2016
