Print
Muted blue-gray and cream, now chipped, paint a reddish-brown silt vessel that tapers at the base. At the neck, a raised face of Hathor looks toward us with wide-set eyes, lips set in a line, and textured hair. Horizontal bands wrap around the neck and rounded upper body. The matte surface shows signs of wear, revealing the earthy clay beneath the pigment.
