Stone Jug

New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 114

The lidded jug of Egyptian alabaster was excavated by the Museum's Egyptian Expedition in 1916. It had been placed near the head of a coffin along with a number of other objects that came to the Museum when the finds were divided with the Egyptian Antiquities Service. These include two other alabaster jars (16.10.421, 16.10.423), one small ointment jar of serpentine (16.10.422), two pottery vessels (16.10.427–.428), a small ivory cosmetic box (16.10.425), and three ivory combs (16.10.428–.430)
