Fragment of shallow strainer
This fragment is the rim of a shallow strainer that formed part of a wine service (see 30.8.369 for a complete example) of a type first seen in the New Kingdom. The set to which this belonged was likely used during a temple festival.
The ancient Egyptians would have used this strainer to filter sediment from wine as it was poured from jugs, jars or flasks into drinking vessels.
