The Global Egyptian Museum

As has been determined by the decoration and by the profile of the sherd, this finely decorated neck belonged to a so-called New Year's jug.  The neck is decorated with vertical lines separated by a group of three horizontal lines, the pattern being reminiscent of a bunch of plants.  A figurine, most probably a little monkey, served as a handle and was leaning against these plants. Damaged on its upper portion, its counterpart on the other side of the neck has entirely disappeared although its former position is still visible.

Ce col, finement décoré, appartenait d'après son décor (et la forme de la panse que l'on devine d'après l'incidence de son amorce), à un vase du type dit du Nouvel an. Le décor du col est décoré de lignes verticales interrompues par un faisceau de trois lignes horizontales groupées, le tout évoquant un bouquet de végétaux. Une figurine (dont la partie supérieure est brisée), formant l'anse, s'appuie contre ces végétaux. Il s'agissait vraisemblablement d'un petit singe. Sa réplique de l'autre côté du col, a entièrement disparu mais son emplacement est visible.
