The Global Egyptian Museum

Cooking pot fashioned from coarse Nile clay mixed with an organic temper, but perfectly polished. The body is hemispherical with a restricted mouth and a lip, cut with a knife, in continuation of the body wall. The upper section of the body is decorated with diagonal hatching, crossed by two diagonal lines in opposite directions. The incisions were made with a wide instrument and are not deep. The bottom was not reinforced with agate, as was common practice, and is therefore damaged through use. The vessel is decorated with punctated dotted bands made with a swivelling serrated roller.

Pot de cuisson façonné en argile du Nil grossier à dégraissant végétal, mais parfaitement lissé. La panse est hémisphérique avec une ouverture refermée et une lèvre dans le prolongement, coupée au couteau. La partie supérieure de la panse est ornée de hachures obliques directes, barrées par deux hachures inverses, toutes peu marquées, incisées avec un instrument large. Le fond inhabituellement n'a pas été renforcé par une couche d'agate et a été abimé par l'usage. Il porte toutefois des bandes pointillées imprimées à la molette pivotante.
