Faience Hes-jar
Faience hes vase, with a single line of inscription on the front of the vessel, addressed to Amenhotep II. This was one of a set of vessels known from the tomb of Amenhotep II (KV 35). Slight variations in how the hieroglyphs were written on other examples from the set indicate that they were produced by more than one workshop.
