DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Clay storage jar with painted decoration. Only part of the shoulder is preserved. The vessel was wheelmade and covered on the outside with a slip (a mixture of water, pigment and clay). the decoration consists of an orange slip with painted red and black lotus buds and a partly opened flower. Jars similar to these have been found in temple areas and it is thought that they may have been dedicated there. It is also possible that priests living in the quarters around the temples also used such vessels. This fragment came into the museum probably through the Oxford Nubia Expedition, but because there were a number of fragments the objects were never formally registered. The clay is typical of that from southern Egypt/Nubia.
