Description: | Pottery vase with an oval body and small, flat base. Flat rim (chipped on one edge) extends from slightly narrowed neck; painted with a wavy red line on top of rim. Two pierced, tubular handles placed high on shoulders. The vase is in excellent condition, with very well-preserved decoration.
A plant or tree with long, thin leaves is painted in red below each handle, on either side of the vase. Short wavy lines appear above and on the handles, with a row of S-shaped marks below the handles.
The 'front' and 'back' of the vase are each painted with a boat, with two reed cabins, one of which has a standard on a pole. Below each boat is another tall pole or standard, with a striped pennant or animal sking. Petrie's 'D-ware'.
Marked '1840' in pencil on bottom.
