British Museum — Department of Egypt and Sudan · vessel
amphora (?)
Description
Vessel fragment: from the neck and rim of a translucent dark-purple vessel. The virtual lack of curvature and the removal of the core suggest that the vessel had a wide neck and was perhaps an amphora. The surface of the neck is inlaid with thick festoon decorations of opaque yellow, white, turquoise-blue and bright-blue glass.
