The Global Egyptian Museum

Black and red goblet with a rounded base, slightly restricted mouth and simple lip. The surface has been burnished, though the gloss is extremely faded. The exterior is red, except near the rim, which is black. It bears traces of a red slip as well as a punctated "dents de loup" design ("wolf's teeth" motif) that is visible only in certain areas. It is likely that this preliminary decoration was made in order to enhance a rippled effect which was eventually not achieved by the craftsman The lip is decorated with delicate cross hatching that is more or less perpendicular to the rim.

Gobelet rouge et noir à base arrondie, ouverture très légèrement rétrécie et lèvre simple. La surface a fait l'objet d'un polissage dont le brillant est fortement altéré. La face externe est rouge sauf sur le bord, qui est noir. Elle porte les traces d'une couverte rouge et d'un décor ponctué de dents de loup qui n'est plus visible que par endroits. Il est vraisemblable que, sous l'effet du polissage, ce dernier devait favoriser l'obtention d'un effet ridé auquel l'artisan n'est pas parvenu. La lèvre porte un décor de fines hachures plus ou moins perpendiculaires à la bordure.
