Vessel widest at about half its height; bottom almost flat, very slightly rounded. Wheel-made of Nile clay NB1 Vienna System. Outer surface leveled, covered with an engobe and polished; inner surface leveled. Red-brown color. Complete, very well preserved. Old Kingdom, 5th–6th Dynasty, c. 2494–c. 2181 BC; findplace: Edfu.
