| description |
The article aims to interpret the so-called “kohl pot” in the
Old Kingdom. There are only several vessels of this type
that have been discovered and published so far. All of them
come from burial contexts, and although some of them
have been described as cosmetic jars, there is no reason as
to why. The author of the present study has arrived at
another interpretation based on the archaeological contexts
of the vessels and on iconography. The position of the
vessels in burial chambers, as well as their depictions in
the Old Kingdom reliefs, rather point to their usage by
ancient scribes as water pots. |
