The Global Egyptian Museum

Vat without any decorative motif on any of the four side panels. However, one of the panels in the width of the vessel bears four very faded lines of an inscription painted in white (Coptic?). All around the vat, right below the thick terracotta roll that borders the orifice, there is another, much better preserved, short Coptic inscription (a curse against all those who would fraudulently open this vat). Additionally, there is a decorative motif of double line segments oriented in such a way to create a jagged pattern on all four panels, between the line of letters and the roll.

Cuve sans aucune décoration sur les quatres panneaux des flancs. En revanche sur un panneau de la largeur, quatre lignes à la peinture blanche, très effacées (du copte?). Tout autour de la cuve, sous le bourrelet de terre cuite qui borde son ouverture, court une inscription copte, mieux conservée (malédiction contre celui qui ouvrira frauduleusement la cuve). Entre la ligne des lettres et le bourrelet, une décoration faite de segments droits allant deux par deux et dispersés en forme de dentelure sur les quatres cotés.
