The Global Egyptian Museum

This small vase, most probably a perfume or unguent jar, was part of the deceased's personal tomb equipment. Placed at the head of the deceased in a Classic Kerma burial, it had been an Egyptian import, wheel-made from calcareous Upper Egyptian clay of a very pure pink-beige colour that had turned light beige during firing. The ovoid body with a narrow neck has an unrestricted mouth with a lip in continuation of the body.

Placé à la tête du mort dans une tombe du Kerma Classique, ce petit vase, probablement vase à parfum ou à onguent, faisait partie du mobilier personnel du défunt. C'est une importation égyptienne. Il est en pâte calcaire de Haute-&Eacute;gypte, très pure beige rosé avec une surface virant au beige clair à la cuisson, et tourné. La panse ovoïde se termine par un col étroit et une ouverture fortement évasée avec lèvre dans le prolongement.
