Jar, Old Kingdom, Dynasty 6-8, ca. 2323–2150 B.C., From Egypt, Travertine (Egyptian alabaster), H. 9.2 cm (3 5/8 in.), This bag-shaped jar owes more to vessel shapes in pottery than to the older tradition of stone vessels. Note how the artisan has skillfully employed the dark brown vein in the stone to form a band around the body of the vessel
