This is the rating and price for Predynastic Egyptian Painted Pottery Alabastron

Description : Ancient Egypt, Pre-Dynastic period, Naqada II to Naqada III, ca. 3500 to 3000 BCE. A lovely hand-built pottery alabastron, so-named because most ancient vessels that assumed this form were carved from alabaster. The round-bottomed vessel has an elongated body which gently tapers up to a neck ringed with incised striations and a flared rim with a smooth lip. Deep red slip forms the chromatic ground atop which chalky yellow-white pigment is applied, and dark red-brown linear motifs form slender columns along the body. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only.
