Label TextThis tall, narrow vessel, resembling a situla or pail, was found at Balabish in either Tomb 72 or 107. The site, located south of Abydos, was excavated in early 1915 and yielded a mix of Egyptian and foreign goods, spanning from the Second Intermediate Period to the Late Period. Balabish tombs often included utilitarian pottery alongside personal ornaments and imported luxury items, helping archaeologists reconstruct ancient burial customs.Published ReferencesWainwright, Gerald Averay, Balabish: Thirty-Seventh Memoir of the Egypt Exploration Society, London, George Allen & Unwin, Ltd., 1920, p. 72, no. 107.
