The Global Egyptian Museum

Dish of a widespread type, well-known during the Middle Kingdom and mass produced. The clay is common (Nile clay and organic temper) and has been polished. Marks indicating that the vessel was stuck in the earth are visible on the bottom. The vessel is convex, footless, flared, and has a tapered lip in continuation of the body wall. This example was covered with a light red-ochre wash. It might have served as a lamp since the lip is blackened.

Coupelle d'un modèle extrémement répandu au Moyen Empire et fabriqué en série. La pâte est commune (argile du Nil et dégraissant végétal), lissée, les traces de décollement du four étant encore visibles sur le fond. La forme est convexe, sans pied, évasée avec une lèvre affinée dans le prolongement. Cet exemplaire a été recouvert d'un léger "wash" à l'ocre rouge et a pu servir de lampe car la lèvre est noircie.
