Beschreibung : Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, ca. 664 to 525 BCE. A faience flask with with twin curved handles flanking the neck and a very pale blue and in other places brown faience glaze. The neck flares out slightly from a narrow spout. Size: 5.1 W x 6.7 H (13 cm x 17 cm) These mold made flasks, famous from late Egyptian contexts, were first described by the famous early archaeologist and Egyptologist Flinders Petrie, who found and excavated a great deal of fragmentary ones at Naukratis. This one, with its pale turquoise glaze, may also be from there (others are apple green). These flasks were offered as a gift around July 19th, when the Egyptian New Year's festival took place.It is not currently known what contents they were made to hold - some have suggested cosmetics, but others believe they may also have been made to hold the waters of the flooded Nile.
