Image description

This vessel can be dated to the Naqada I phase of Egypt’'s Predynastic Period. Pottery played a very important role in defining the chronology of the Predynastic Period; one of the typical forms of pottery found in the Predynastic Period is black-topped red-ware, which belongs to the Naqada I phase. These vessels were formed from coiled clay, then smoothed and covered with a red ochre slip. They were then fired upside down in the kiln, leading to the rim area becoming black.
