Bowl with Alternate Impressed and Red-polished Panels
Description
Object Label: Egyptologists are not certain whether this bowl from an Upper Egyptian grave was made by a Nubian or an Egyptian. The zigzag patterns created by the use of rocker stamps and the alternation of polished and impressed panels reflect Nubian traditions of pottery decoration. Perhaps it was an Egyptian reproduction of the Nubian style. Catalogue description: Culture Nubian Caption: Nubian. Bowl with Alternate Impressed and Red-polished Panels, ca. 3500–3400 B.C.E..
