The Global Egyptian Museum

Deep and narrow jar with a pronounced shoulder, small neck, thick lip and rounded base. Its colour varies from light pink to dark pink and has not been covered by a slip. The slender profile is marked by a slight inflexion in its lower section. The surface is irregular and uneven. The neck is misshapen and bears on its internal surface an undetermined incised motif. Like many others, this vessel, which was found in an  A-Group tomb, demonstrates the importance of trade between Upper and Lower Nubia during the end of the Predynastic period in Egypt. Vessels of this type, called ''wine jars'' by researchers, were used by the Egyptians to transport food products to Nubia.  They were thereafter used by Nubians, who appreciated the technical qualities of the vessels and did not hesitate to place them in their tombs.
