| Title |
Egyptian Pre-dynastic vessel |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
Egyptian pre-dynastic red pottery vase with black glaze around neck. Light coloured geometric designs around body. Likely made of Nile silt (mud) which turns red-brown upon firing, however clay was used for better quality results. Likely baked upside-down in an open fire to carbonise the top, thus turning it black and leaving the rest of the pot red - 'black-topped ware'. Later pots were left fairly plain, whereas others included geometric patterns and images of creatures and animals, plants, boats and humans. |
