Description: | This bottle is painted with a light slip over terracotta. It has a tapering spherical body with an elongated neck and flared rim. It has one handle reaching from the shoulder to the neck. 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.
