Description
Deep and narrow jar with a pronounced shoulder, small neck, thick lip and rounded conical base. Its does not bear a slip and its colour varies from light pink-beige to dark beige. The slender profile is marked by a rather strong inflexion in its lower section. The surface is irregular and uneven and also strewn with blemishes as a result of firing. 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.

Jarre profonde et étroite à épaule marquée, petit col, lèvre épaisse et base conique arrondie. Elle ne porte pas de couverte et la couleur varie du rose beige clair au beige foncé. Le profil, qui est assez élancé, est marqué par une assez forte inflexion dans sa partie inférieure. La surface, irrégulière et mal égalisée, est parsemée d'éclats de cuisson. Trouvée dans une tombe du Groupe A, cette pièce montre, comme bien d'autres, l'importance des échanges entre la Haute et la Basse Nubie vers la fin de la Période Prédynastique égyptienne. Les vases de ce type, que les chercheurs qualifient volontiers de "jarres à vin", étaient utilisés par les Égyptiens pour transporter vers la Nubie des produits alimentaires. Ils furent ensuite réutilisés par les Nubiens, qui en appréciaient les qualités techniques et n'hésitèrent pas à les déposer dans leurs tombes.
