Kohl Jar

Late Middle Kingdom

Not on view

A pit in the portico of the rock- cut tomb MMA 840 in the Asasif area of the Theban necropolis contained the remains of a coffin, a group of fine jewelry and two toilet vessels (13.180.1-13.180.3; 13.180.4a–i; 13.180.5a, b; 13.180.6-13.180.11; 13.180.19a–c; 13.180.20). The dates of these objects range from the late Middle Kingdom (ca. 1850-1700 B. C.) through the Second Intermediate Period (ca. 1700-1550 B. C.). Similarly shaped stone vessels to this one found, for instance, at Dahshur, Haraga and other sites date this piece into the late Middle Kingdom.
