Description

Jar, typical of Egyptian production during the New Kingdom, which was unearthed in a necropolis of modest tombs dating to the early New Kingdom. The clay is typical of such Egyptian productions: wheel-made, polished and fully oxidised, which gives it an orange colour. Its shape is also well known: biconical with a rounded base, short neck and convex lip. Because of its size, the vessel was placed on the coffin.

Jarre typique des productions égyptiennes du Nouvel Empire qui a été mise au jour dans une nécropole composée de tombes modestes du début du Nouvel Empire. La pâte est caractéristique des productions égyptiennes, c'est à dire tournée, lissée et oxydée d'où une couleur orangée. La forme, biconique avec un fond arrondi, un col court et une lèvre convexe, est également bien connue. En raison de sa taille, ce vase était posé sur le cercueil.
