18TH DYNASTY
KUNSTHISTORISCHES MUSEUM
This vase has a rounded body and a pointed base. The short neck ends in a thick rolled rim. The neck and shoulder are decorated with blue stripes. Underneath, graceful dark red flowers have been painted opposite each other. The popular painted floral motifs on vessels of the late New Kingdom are a reference to festivities when vessels were decorated with real garlands of petals and flowers. This applies in particular to jars used for wine and beer.
