Description

A finely carved Egyptian alabaster vessel dating to the 3rd millennium BC. This elegant container, likely used for storing perfumed oils or cosmetics, features a characteristic pointed base, short neck, and a perforated suspension lug—allowing it to be worn or secured. The soft amber hue and smooth surface reflect the skilled craftsmanship of Early Dynastic Egypt. Mounted on a modern display stand. Height: 6 cm (7.5 cm with stand).
