Comments
The vessel is listed by Quibell (1905) as coming from Gebel el-Tarif. Since that volume was written in 1899, it is possible that the vessel was found during excavations carried on the order of Jacques de Morgan at Gebel el-Tarif in April-May 1896 (see de Morgan 1896). It is not entirely clear if he directed and/or supervised the work on the ground.
