Large amphora with an ovoid shape and a rounded foot. Two small vertical vices placed on the body at the point of its greatest bulge at the base of the arms. The foot is hand-made; the body was wheel-made. Made of MD type marl clay Vienna System. Surface even. Sloping arms, with inscriptions in black paint labels, dockets symmetrically placed on both sides of the body. Above one of the vices, slightly toward the center of the body, are impressed cartouches of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III and a snake hieroglyph dz. Under one of the vices, a potter's mark of two intersecting lines. Very light brown color. Incomplete — neck and spout missing. New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, ca. 1550–1295 BC. Two cartouches of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III; two labels on the body. Preserved height 49.5 cm; belly diameter 30.5 cm., A large, rounded clay vessel with a tapering pointed base and a wide, irregular mouth, shown against a flat neutral background. The vessel has a pair of looped handles on opposite sides near the shoulder, each with an opening and a slightly rough texture. The surface of the pot is matte and uneven, showing variations in color including beige, light tan, pale cream, and areas of muted reddish-brown and faint gray, with some subtle discoloration and patches of wear. The rim appears worn and slightly chipped, and the body shows small surface imperfections and a gritty, unglazed finish.
