Jar with decorated rim, swivel, and knob. Dimensions: h. 7.5 cm (2 15/16 in.); diam. 5.5 cm (2 3/16 in.). Date: 664-30 B.C.. The color of this cylindrical vessel suggests a Late Period or Ptolemaic Period date. In a thickening on one side of the vessel's lip there is a hole for a swivel for the now missing lid. When meant to remain closed, string would have secured a knob on the lid to a knob protruding from the side of the vessel opposite the swivel. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
