The Global Egyptian Museum

The vessel has a slender barrel shape with a flat bottom and a moulded rim. It is made of a light-coloured clay. Two cylinder handles for suspending ropes are attached to the shoulder. The walls of the vessel have been sectioned by the reddish brown painted decoration. In the bottom half, a row of flamingos is represented on top of a series of triangles. Between the cylinder handles are images of ships complete with their oars, cabins, and standards. Their prows are decorated with a stylized structure made of reeds. These figurative drawings with their regulating divisions and series of motifs were of great importance for the development of Egyptian two-dimensional art. The small size of this jar suggests that it was intended for the storage of precious liquids placed in the tomb for use by the deceased in his otherworldly existence.

Ce vase avec un fond plat et une lèvre gonflée est façonné en argile claire. Sur les épaules sont fixées deux anneaux. La surface du vase est décorée de peinture rouge-brune. Sur la partie inférieure, on reconnaît des flamants sur des triangles et entre les anneaux un bateau pourvu de rames, d'une cabine et d'étendards. Sur la proue est placée une cabine stylisée faite de roseaux. Ces représentations figurées ordonnées ont été très importantes pour l'évolution de l'art et les principes du relief égyptien. La grandeur moyenne du vase suggère qu'il fut employé pour conserver des liquides précieux qui étaient placés dans la tombe.

Das schlanke, tonnenförmige Gefäss mit Standboden und einem gewulsteten Rand ist aus hellem Ton hergestellt. Auf der Schulter sitzen zwei Schnurösen. Die Gefässoberfläche ist durch eine rotbraune Bemalung gegliedert. Dargestellt sind in der unteren Hälfte eine umlaufende Flamingoreihe auf Dreiecken und zwischen den Schnurösen jeweils ein mit Rudern, Kajüte und Standarte versehenes Schiff, dessen Bug ein stilisiertes Gebilde aus Zweigen schmückt. Für die Entwicklung des ägyptischen Flachbildes und seiner Aufbauprinzipien waren diese figürlichen Darstellungen mit ihrer ordnenden Gliederung durch die Motivreihen von großer Bedeutung.
Die geringe Größe des Gefässes deutet auf die Aufbewahrung kostbarer Flüssigkeiten hin, die dem Toten für seine jenseitige Existenz ins Grab mitgegeben wurden.

Questo vaso a forma di botte allungata con base di sostegno e labbro rigonfio è fabbricato in argilla chiara. Sulla spalla sono posti due occhielli di corda. La superficie del vaso è decorata con dipinti rosso-bruni. Sono rappresentati nella metà inferiore una fila circolare di fenicotteri su dei triangol, e fra gli occhielli una barca fornita di remi, cabina e stendardo, la cui prua è adornata da una forma stilizzata di rami. Queste rappresentazioni figurative, con la loro struttura ordinata da motivi in serie, erano di grosso significato per l'evoluzione dell'arte egiziana e dei principi della tecnica figurativa. Le piccole dimensioni del vaso indicano che fu usato per la conservazione di liquidi preziosi che venivano posti nella tomba.
