- Lot Description
Egypt, Third Intermediate Period, dynasties 21 though 25, ca. 1070 to 664 BCE. Absolutely stunning brilliant blue faience cosmetic jar of rounded form with everted rim. Used for kohl or unguents this was an object of great importance to its owner, and was undoubtedly placed into their tomb for use in the afterlife. Size: 2.875" W x 2" H (7.3 cm x 5.1 cm)
New Kingdom to TIP, 18th to 25th Dynasty from book: "Throughout ancient Egyptian history, small containers for cosmetics were made from a variety of materials including precious metals, glass, faience, wood, and stone. Delicate in appearance, these intimate objects usually combine a smooth surface, an elegant shape, and a pleasing color to create an object that would well complement the luxury material they once contained."
