Description: | This is a small round bottomed ceramic pot wit 2 barrel handles and a flat everted rim. It dates to the Predynastic period (about 5300-3000 BC). It was collected by the famous Egyptologist Sir Flinders Petrie (b.AD1853- d.1942) who excavated many Predynastic period sites. 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 spirals and horizontal stripes.
