Description
Pottery vase with flat base, convex profile and short, wide neck. There is a decorative, rather than functional wavy handle on both sides.The vessel was found in one of the fourth millennium BC graves at the key early settlement near Kom el-Ahmar (the Hierakonpolis of later texts) in southern Upper Egypt. From this and other burial goods in the rich tomb, the burial can be dated to the end of the Naqada II Period, on the eve of the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt in the final stage of state formation. During this period Kom el-Ahmar was a major centre of the emerging Egyptian kingship

Aardewerken vaas met platte basis, convex profiel en korte, wijde hals. Aan beide kanten bevindt zich een meer decoratieve dan functionele golvende greep. Dit exemplaar werd gevonden in een van de graven uit het vierde millennium voor Christus bij de belangrijke vroege nederzetting bij Kom el-Ahmar (het Hiëraconpolis uit latere teksten) in zuidelijk Opper-Egypte. Op grond van deze kruik en andere grafgiften in het rijke graf kan de bijzetting gedateerd worden in het eind van de Naqada II Periode, aan de vooravond van de vereniging van Opper- en Neder-Egypte in de laatste fase van de staatsvorming. Tijdens deze periode was Kom el-Ahmar een van de grotere centra van het opbloeiende Egyptische koningschap.
Vase en terre cuite, à base plate, au profil convexe, au col court et large. Il est muni d'anses ondulées symétriques, plus décoratives que fonctionnelles. Le récipient provient de l'une des tombes du quatrième millénaire avant notre ère, découvertes sur le site primitif proche de Kôm el-Ahmar (l'Hierakonpolis des textes tardifs), en Haute Égypte méridionale. Cet objet, ainsi que le reste du matériel funéraire que contenait la luxueuse sépulture, permet de dater celle-ci de la Période de Nagada II, à l'aube de l'unification de la Haute et de la Basse Égypte. Durant cette période, Kôm el-Ahmar fut un centre majeur de l'émergence de la royauté égyptienne.
Tongefäß mit flachem Boden, konvexem Profil und kurzem, breitem Hals. An beiden Seiten befindet sich ein eher dekorativer als funktionaler, gewellter Griff. Das Gefäß stammt aus einem der Gräber des 4. Jahrtausends v. Chr. bei der wichtigen frühen Siedlung in der Nähe von Kom el-Ahmar (dem Hierakonpolis späterer Texte) im südlichen Ober-Ägypten. Anhand dieser und anderer Beigaben in dem reichen Grab kann die Bestattung in das Ende der Naqada II-Zeit datiert werden, den Vorabend der Vereinigung von Ober- und Unter-Ägypten im letzten Stadium der Staatsbildung. Während dieser Zeit war Kom el-Ahmar ein bedeutendes Zentrum des entstehenden ägyptischen Königtums.
Vaso in terracotta con base piatta, profilo corto e convesso, collo ampio. Presenta, su ambo i lati, un manico ondulato più decorativo che funzionale. Il vaso è stato ritrovato in una delle tombe del quarto millennio nell'antico insediamento chiave vicino a Kom el-Ahmar (la Hierakonpolis dei testi più tardi) nella parte meridionale dell'Alto Egitto. Da questo e da altri oggetti ritrovati nella ricca tomba è possibile ipotizzare una datazione alla fine del periodo Naqada II, all'epoca dell'unificazione dell'Alto e del Basso Egitto nella fase finale della formazione dello stato. Durante questo periodo Kom el-Ahmar divenne uno dei centri più importanti dell'emergente regalità egizia.
Jarro em cerâmica com base lisa, perfil convexo e pescoço curto e largo. Tem asas onduladas em ambos os lados, mas decorativas que funcionais. O recipiente foi encontrado numa das sepulturas datadas do IVº milénio a.C. em sítios perto de Kom el-Ahmar (a Hieracômpolis de textos mais tardios) no sul do Egipto. A partir desta peça e outras encontradas, o sepultamento pode ser datado de finais do período de Nagada II, em vésperas da unificação do Alto e do Baixo Egipto, na fase final da formação do estado. Durante este período Kom el-Ahmar era um grande centro da emergente monarquia.
Vaso de cerámica de base plana, perfil convexo y cuello corto y ancho. Lleva asas, más decorativas que funcionales, en ambos lados. El recipiente fue encontrado en una de las tumbas del cuarto milenio del temprano asentamiento clave, cercano a Kom el-Ahmar (la Hierakónpolis de textos posteriores) en el sur del Alto Egipto. A partir de este y otros bienes de esta rica tumba, el enterramiento puede ser datado a finales del período de Naqada II, en vísperas de la unificación de Alto y el Bajo Egipto, en el estadio final de la formación del Estado. Durante este período, Kom el-Ahmar fue un centro principal de la emergente realeza egipcia.
