Description: | Pottery vase with round body, tubular handles, and flat rim; decorated in dark red with a tree or plant, spirals, and wavy lines. Petrie's 'D-ware'.
Type of vessel: Jar.
Materials: Straw Tempered Nile silt.
Technique: Hand made. Orange slip on the surface of the vessel. The external appearance of the vessel is quite rough due to the great quantity of chaff used as temper.
Desription: Closed vessel: handled jar (D17). Decorated type (D-ware). Globular Body. Rim modelled (B7). Neck low. Decorated.
Decoration: Decoration painted in red. Over the handles have been painted some net motifs. A plant over hemi-circles. Two spirals. Some bands made with cross-lines.
Origin: Probably Naqada (tomb 1836).
Further Observations: 1836 is the number written on the base of the vessel. According with the D-ware classification this vessel is not very typical. This is the only one made with this type of clay (maybe a fake?). It deserves further studies. Haworth, Jesse (Donation 1895).
