Egyptian red ware amphora

Egyptian red ware amphora

Shared by
UC Teece Museum of Classical Antiquities

This polished redware vessel has a conical belly with a funnel shaped neck, a small mouth and rolled rim. The body tapers inwards to a small flat circular base. The surface has a bit of sparkle in certain light conditions, which could be due to small chips of a mineral such as mica included in the coarse clay. Vessels of this type are characteristic of the pre-dynastic period in Egypt. [Accession number: 231.22.15]
