Description: | This pottery bowl comes from the site of Badari in Upper Egypt. It dates to the Predynastic period (about 5300- 3000 BC). Badari was an important settlement in the Predynastic period. It was collected by the famous Egyptologist Sir Flinders Petrie (b.AD1853-d.1942) who excavated many Predynastic period sites. The outside of the bowl is decorated with a red glaze and the inside is decorated with a shiny black glaze. It may have been placed in a grave as grave goods for the dead.
