Tall, Round-Bottomed Jar New KingdomEgypt
Description
Object Label: Two Simple Storage Vessels Like many vessels of the time, these two perpetuate the forms and understated design principles of the early Eighteenth Dynasty. These wheel-made pottery vessels date from the era of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. Both of these pots originally held dry goods such as grain or fruit. The rounded bottom of the taller vessel indicates that it originally rested in a separate pottery stand. Caption: Tall, Round-Bottomed Jar, ca. 1478–1390 B.C.E.. Clay, pigment, 13 x Diam. 6 13/16 in.
