Descripción : Egypt, Old Kingdom, 3rd to 6th Dynasty, ca. 2686 to 2181 BCE. A hefty offering bowl, carved from a stunning pink marble with white and gray banded inclusions, a round but stable base, gently curved shoulders, and a shallow cavity. Offering bowls like this were traditionally carved from alabaster, which was much more common in ancient Egypt, however, pink marble was typically reserved for those who could afford it. A faded and abstract design rests in the center of the bowl, drawn with a smoky-blue pigment, which would have had a stunning appearance during the Old Kingdom era. This example is incredibly rare due to the overall condition and surviving coloration of the pink marble. Size: 7.25 W x 2 H (18.4 cm x 5.1 cm).
