Description : **Originally Listed At $400** Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom, ca. 2040 to 1802 BCE. A beautiful and well-preserved example of an alabaster jar. The heavy stone glows when held to the light. The vessel is well-proportioned, with a wide disc mouth, a gently curved body, and a slightly flared foot.
