A ceramic black burnished ware pilgrim's flask of discoid form, short neck with collar, body with raised concentric roundels to both faces.
PROVENANCE:
Acquired in Egypt in 1960 whilst working at the British Council.

FOOTNOTES:
This resembles an Etruscan style bucchero impasto flask of circa 700-600 B.C., suggesting that this was an import into Egypt; a comparable example is in the Penn Museum (inventory no. MS 3431).
