Cosmetic Vessel of Meretnubt
Description
<p>This small cosmetic vessel is carved with an openwork frieze of heraldic birds flanking a cartouche with the name "King's daughter, Nubet-meryt." Meretnubt was a daughter of King Thutmose I (1504-1492 BCE). Separating the two heraldic groups are two snakes flanking a column. Above the openwork frieze is carved a series of alternating open and closed lotus flowers which ring the neck of the vessel. The glaze is particularly green in appearance.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/48.1388' rel='external'>Cosmetic Vessel of Meretnubt</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
