Description
A double-sided flask with similar Janiform heads of Harpokrates (or perhaps of a childlike Bes): he has vertical locks over his forehead and falling on each side of his face. The mouth of the vessel is intact and flare. It has two handles. Two-piece mould. Micaceous brown Nile silt, with a worn matt red slip: probably a misfired version of Memphis Black Ware.
