This alabaster unguent bowl features a clearly distinct lip delineated by a smooth groove and a thick rounded outer edge. A similar bowl is held at the Louvre (d’Abadie 1972:109, fig. 429). It dates back to early dynastic Egypt, Dynasty 1 or 2.Bibliography (for this item)Arnold, Dorothea (editor)1999 When the Pyramids Were Built: Egyptian Art of the Old Kingdom.
