Kohl pot
Kohl pot with openwork decoration.
In the early decades of Dynasty 18, Egyptian stone carvers began to incise pot surfaces with openwork scenes. In the middle register on this pot, pairs of confronting falcons spread their wings to shield hes-vases, vessels associated with protection against evil.
18th dynasty, no provenance.
