Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A beautiful jar of a petite size, hand-carved from honey-yellow alabaster with natural white inclusions. The vessel is defined by a conical base, an apple-shaped body with a rounded shoulder, a lightly-grooved neckline, a wide mouth which perhaps at one time held a lid, and a fully drilled-out interior cavity. The Egyptians were master carvers and used the abundant stone deposits in the Nile Valley and the Eastern Sahara to fashion sculptures, vessels, and monumental buildings; the perfect symmetry of this example demonstrates their skill. Special tools were used to drill into and expand the interior cavity, allowing the walls of the vessel to be thin enough that light could pass through the stone.

Minor abrasions to body and rim, with light encrustations inside cavity, otherwise intact and excellent. Light earthen deposits within cavity.
