HUGE EGYPTIAN BLACK TOPPED WARE JAR - 13"
Ca. 4000 - 3100 BC.An Egyptian coil-formed Nile silt pottery vessel with a highly-burnished, russet-hued surface made with a thin iron-oxide slip. The vase has an ovoid body which tapers gently to a petite flat base, with a deep interior cavity and a rolled rim. The upper black-hued portion is comprised of thick carbon deposits formed by administering thick clouds of smoke for extended periods in an oxygen-deprived environment. Black-top vessels rose in popularity during the early Naqada I, a culture that inhabited Ancient Egypt during its pre-dynastic period.
