Description

Miniature "tulip" vase, which was placed in a child's burial.  The shape is ypical: wide flat base, S-shaped body profile, flared rim. The fine, homogeneous clay made from Nile mud is very shiny and is covered with a red slip. Couloured red, it has a black rim and an additional black line in the middle. The bottom of the vessel was pierced in a ritual act, preventing the reuse of this object.

Vase "tulipe" miniature qui était disposé dans une sépulture d'enfant. La forme est traditionnelle: large fond plat, panse en S, bord évasé. La pâte est fine, homogène, à base d'argile du Nil, fortement lustrée et recouverte d'engobe, rouge à bord noir, avec une ligne noirâtre intermédiaire. Le fond a été perforé, un geste rituel qui interdit un réemploi de l'objet.
