By

Archaeological site unknown

Brussels, Musées royaux d'Art et d'Histoire, E. 2316.

Material : Nile silt (Painted)

Decoration

A band filled with a zigzag design circles around the upper part of the neck, above a series of upturned triangles filled with chevrons. Below, two gazelles (?) face right. They have a long neck, curved horns pointing forward (?), and short upturned tails. Two dogs chase them and bite their backsides. The bodies of the animals are filled in with chevrons. A few birds are also represented. A series of upturned triangles filled with chevrons are painted nearer the base. A vertical plant protrudes from one of them, possibly indicating that they are part of the landscape rather than purely decorative. The animals all have their bodies filled with chevrons designs.
