Description: | Pottery vessel with decoration showing antelope (perhaps ibex) with curved horns below a trellis pattern. 4 holes on the internal bevell below rim. Red paint on red fabric. 24cm high. If this is Egyptian it is possibly Naqada II period (3500-3100 BC.) D-ware, however, the shape and decoration is not parellelled in D-ware. Perhaps this is not Egyptian. The Naqada Period is named after the type site in Upper Egypt, just north of Thebes. 24cm high. Purchased by Wellcome at auction in 1906. For an overview of ideas on the origins of D-ware see Askamit, 1998, 36-37 (Askamit, J. 1998. The D ware from Abusir el-Meleq. In C.J. Eyre ed 'Proceedings of the Seventh International Congress of Egyptologists', Cambridge, 3-9 September 1995'. Leuven: Uitgeverij Peeters. 31-38). The current opinion is that D-ware originates in Upper Egypt in the Naqada-Abydos area. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | D-ware | Temporal: | 3500 B.C.-3100 B.C.
