Description
Ancient Egypt, Pre-Dynastic Period, Naqada II, ca. 3400 to 3200 BCE. A delightful pottery vessel presenting a squat globular form accentuated by a series of tightly-spaced striations that vertically line the exterior, amplifying the curvature of the body. The bulbous jar sits upon a petite base and is surmounted by a projecting rim flanked by twin, lug handles. A beautiful example from this very early period! Size: 5.6" Diameter x 4.9" H (14.2 cm x 12.4 cm)
