Marsh-Bowl of Ruiu
New Kingdom
The burial of Ruiu was found in the tomb of her father, Neferkhawet, which was excavated by the Museum’s Egyptian Expedition in 1935. Between Ruiu's coffin and that of her husband, Baki, was a basket containing two faience bowls. The glaze and painted decoration of both bowls had been badly damaged by the damp atmosphere in the tomb. The decoration on the inside of this bowl is centered on a rosette from which sprout lotus buds and flowers.
