- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, Proto-Dynastic Period, Naqada III, ca. 3200 to 3000 BCE. A tall, cylindrical vase, made of a rough clay and given a thick, rolled rim, a wavy band applied a little below the rim that forms a low relief handle, and a long body ending in a nearly flat, slightly convex base. The body is decorated with thick bands of earthy red that form a dense "net" pattern. This vessel is very similar in form to others found in ancient Egypt, for example at the site of El Mahasna, a large cemetery excavated with the financial subscription of several western museums in 1909. Size: 4.65" W x 13.45" H (11.8 cm x 34.2 cm)
Naqada III is a fascinating period, the precursor to the great dynasties of Egypt - indeed, it is sometimes called Dynasty 0, although there were many competing kings rather than a single ruler. During this time, burials became much more stratified, with wealthy graves containing many grave goods and offerings, including vessels like this one, alongside copper weapons, ivory and steatite jewelry, and even animal sacrifices like dogs.
