Description: | An ovoid earthenware jar, likely of the Naqada II style. One handle of the "wavy" style on each side. Four vertical panels of horizontal zigzag designs on the body. Gerzeh flourished in pre-dynastic Egypt from c.3600 to the unification of Egypt c.3100 BC. Grave goods from the site include iron beads discovered in 1911 which are the oldest known fashioned iron objects. Lapis Lazuli artefacts which orginated in Afghanistan suggest that there was a trade link with Asia.
