Description: | Tall convex beaker with vertical projection to fasten swivel lid. Tapered, very slightly footed base, simple rim with thin (0.6 cm wide) band of gold probably originally around rim, but now loose. Lid has a gold band edge, a lipped interior, and is fixed to the body by a gold hinge with a large pin inserted into the top of the projection. Opposite the projection and below the rim, there is a round perforated silver-surrounded hole (total diameter 0.9 cm; with inner hole of 0.3 cm) inserted part of the way into the body. The closure is a thin (about 0.3 cm) flat vertical piece of gold extending from the edge of the rim and slightly proud of the top of the lid down to the hole in the body, with a round hoop of gold attached, through which a movable gold peg is positioned which can slide into the hole in the body. Piece of rim missing (about 2.9 cm wide) to one side of the closure; rim roughened on same side toward projection. Distinct natural pitting in lid. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Dynasty 20; start=-1186; end=-1069
