Beautifully carved and with elegant lines, this granite vase must have held rare ointments or oils in the tomb of some ancient person of prominence. Since the earliest predynastic times, the nobility of Egypt had favored vessels carved from stone. The simplicity of this piece gives it a timeless appeal. We delight in its pure form, as its original owner no doubt did many millennia ago. - (PF.0046)
