Alabastron with Inscription
Description
The style and material of this jar are nearly identical to those of Egyptian vessels made 3000 years earlier. Although Egyptian in design, this vessel has an inscription in Greek - a dedication to the twin gods Castor and Pollux. It attests to the popularity of Greek gods in Egypt at the time of its creation, an interest that was reciprocated in Greece for Egyptian gods.
