Painted Wide-Mouthed Jug

New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 116

This jar contains the remains of a vegetable oil. It was originally covered with a small dish which was tied in place with linen cloth. A coffin, this jar, and other personal possessions were discovered with the burial of an unknown woman who may have been related to Senenmut, one of Hatshepsut's officials. The woman's coffin and personal possessions came to the Museum in the division of finds.
