RecordPot< 1 of 1 > Back from Qurneh, Egypt
PotThis ceramic pot in a knotted openwork string bag is one of eight found slung on a long stick. It is among a number of grave goods placed in the rich burial of a woman and child at Qurneh in Egypt, sometime in the 17th Dynasty. The woman may have been a queen. The long, burnished red pot has an out-turned rim and short neck, flaring gradually into a bag-shaped body with a slightly pointed base. It is held in a fragmentary open weave net bag. The woman buried at Qurneh was a slender individual between 21 and 25 years old. She has signs of tooth decay, which was less common amongst ancient Egyptians than modern peoples. The child was about two and a half years old at death. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
