Consulter la cote et le prix de Egyptian Pre-Dynastic Naqada Ii Pottery Vessel, 2018

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 spiraling circles in 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 spiraling 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. See this article entitled, Pottery production at Hierakonpolis during the Naqada II period: Toward a reconstruction of the firing technique, British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan 13 (2009): 1-23. Cf. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 10.176.119, The Brooklyn Museum, accession number 07.447.440, and The British Museum, museum number EA47996.
