Globular jar made from Nile silt clay and covered with a red wash. The main decoration is painted with black pigment and shows a stripey snake holding a branch in its mouth. There are further lines of decoration around the neck and middle of the pot. The vessel was said to have been found in a tomb in Thebes (close to modern Luxor), which would accord with the motif of a snake, which was common in a funerary context. This shape of vessel and clay are more commonly found further south in Aswan and it is possible that the pot was made there and then brought with the owner, or bought by him/her, who then placed it in their burial. Such vessels vary in size, this example is relatively small. There is a small chip to the rim but the rest of the pot remains intact. This object originally belonged to the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and so was likely excavated. Its exact findspot was not recorded.
