Description: | This is a flat bottomed, globular ceramic pot with a short upright neck and slightly everted rim. It comes from a tomb at the site of Qau El-Kebir near Hammamiya in Upper Egypt. It dates to the 1st Dynasty (about 3000-2890 BC). The red-pink colour of the pot is typical of the marl- clay found in the desert areas of Egypt. It is decorated with red ochre paint in the style of vertical wavy lines in groups of 4. These wavy lines may represent water.
