Vessel, Storage vessel amphora with an ovoid body, rounded bottom, and short cylindrical neck. Small handles glued to the sides. Straight rim. Smoothed surface with an imprint of a thin cord about halfway up. Surface color red to dark red. Complete with isolated losses on the rim and three holes in the vessel walls. Egyptian amphora made of Nile clay, possibly from Thebes. Likely developed from Third Intermediate Period storage vessels and probably used as a water container. Analogous examples are known from Amarna, Qau el-Kebir, Matmar, Elephantine, Hermopolis, Herakleopolis, Abydos, and Deir el-Medina. Dimensions: height 47.2 cm; rim diameter 11.7 cm; belly diameter 30.2 cm. Date: Third Intermediate Period 25th Dynasty, ca. 1069–664 BC., An oval-shaped pottery vessel with a rounded top and a narrower base stands against a plain light-gray background, showing a weathered clay surface in shades of brown, tan, reddish-brown, and muted gray; the vessel has a pair of rounded loop handles on opposite sides near its lower half, a short cylindrical foot at the bottom, visible horizontal striations and subtle texture variations across its body, small surface blemishes and worn patches, and an overall matte, earthy appearance.
