Wavy-Lined Jar
Description
[Egypt, Predynastic (5000–2950 BCE), Naqada III (3200–3000 BCE)] Tall slender jars decorated with a wavy line in relief occur toward the end of the Predynastic Period. The netlike motif imitates the kind of rope sling or cradle that was used to carry this type of jar without handles.
