Clay bowl
Clay bowl, with black top decoration
Small clay bowl, made from Nile silt clay. Red polish with black top decoration. The interior is also black. The vessel is finger-modelled with horizontal burnishing inside and out. This type of pottery came from burials known as 'Pan-grave', which are shallow graves sometimes re-using earlier burial shafts. Pan-grave was a Nubian culture. This vessel was excavated from the cemetery of Abydos. The vessel is almost complete but has been broken and repaired.
