Fragment of a Handle from a Vessel
New Kingdom
This fragment of a handle once belonged to a small vessel made from faience that was glazed white. The two rosettes serving as part of the handle’s decoration are outlined in blue; one still has a red dot of faience serving as the flower’s center.
Many fragments of elegantly decorated faience vessels have been found among the remains of the King’s Palace at Malqata. This important ritual building was at the heart of the festival-city built by Amenhotep III on the west bank of Thebes.
