Long-necked jar

New Kingdom, Ramesside

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 124

WIne services do not seem to have a long history in Egypt, but appear to have been introduced in the New Kingdom when wine-drinking became a feature of elite society in the Ramesside Period. Most if not all of the vessels in Tell Basta vessels belonged to just such a wine service associated presumably with a temple festival.

Jars like this one might be used for mixing wine.
