Faience Ribbed Jar ca. 1550–1070 New Kingdom This small globular jar is made from Egyptian faience, a ceramic material associating a siliceous paste with an alkaline glaze, here of a characteristic turquoise blue. The ribbed pattern brings to mind similar a decoration found on metal vessels produced during the New Kingdom. Although this example is not very common, two comparable jars were found near a burial by a Belgian archaeological mission working in Elkab in 1999 that were dated to the New Kingdom or the Third Intermediate Faience Ribbed Jar. ca. 1550–1070 Faience.
