The
above listed item is from the Ptolemaic Period,(332-30 B.C.E.). This
lovely "Ankh Offertory Vessel" was clay thrown, faience glazed
and detailed in black paint. We acquired this unique piece from a select
private collection and its provenance is from Alexandria, Egypt. Depicted
on this offertory container are two decorated handles having two intact
Ankh symbols that have been detailed with black paint! On one side of
this urn, there are two rows of black painted hieroglyphics with the
other side, having a black painted winged scarab and a row or glyphs!
This type of jar was used for libations, spices or unguents and then
placed in the tomb with the deceased. This rare amphora-like urn is
intact and has retained much of its blue faience glaze with age wear.
The reason for the item being available is due to the vast extent of
archeological findings, thousands of years in Egyptian burials and also
the proliferation of these said items in older private collections worldwide.
