Lovely flask that must have contained perfumes or scented oils. The clay, which is a white and calcareous, most likely comes from Upper Egypt. The base is wide and flat, the body pear-shaped and the thin neck ends with a small flared lip. Although very simple, the decoration is very elegant: two lines of black circles flanking a brownish-red line. The motif of the top line is enhanced with black circles.

Joli flacon qui devait contenir des parfums ou des huiles parfumées. La pâte, en argile calcaire blanche, provient vraisemblablement de Haute &Eacute;gypte. Le fond est large et plat, la panse piriforme, le col étroit terminé par une petite lèvre évasée. Le décor, quoique simple, est élégant: deux stries de cercles de peinture noire encadrant une ligne brun-rouge. Le motif supérieur est souligné de petites pastilles noires.
