Two-handled globular jar

Late New Kingdom, Ramesside

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 126

This large two-handled storage jar is from the houses east, north, and west of the pyramid of Amenemhat I. The black coating on the interior suggests that it migt have been used at some point for mummification or embalming, then perhaps re-used for storage.
