This is the rating and price for Egyptian Pre-Dynastic Naqada Ii Pottery Vessel

Description : Ancient Egypt, Pre-Dynastic period, Naqada II, ca. 3400 to 3300 BCE. A hand-built globular bichrome earthenware vessel, the body decorated throughout with a series of red zigzag lines and concentric circles in a target motif of varying sizes, with twin perforated lug handles on the shoulders - made from applied slabs that were curved to create an opening - for suspension purposes. A rounded base with additional concentric circles, a flat everted rim, and a deep interior cavity round out the vessel's characteristics, making this a gorgeous and finely-crafted example from this very early period. Size: 3.5 W x 2.375 H (8.9 cm x 6 cm). Although there is very little evidence pertaining to kilns that would lead to a better understanding of firing techniques from the Naqada II period, an interesting article written by Masahiro Baba analyzes the pottery produced at Hierakonpolis to propose a reconstruction of these techniques.
