Pre-Colombian Civilization.Situla with plain rim ca. 1279-1213 B.C. New Kingdom, Ramesside Wine was a coveted drink starting in Egypts earliest days, though wine services do not have a long history there, as strainers were not found before the New Kingdom. The importance of wine grew during that period, as intoxicating drinks played a prominent role in festivals and in communal celebrations. When associated with Bastet and other feline goddesses, these drinks helped partakers emulate the drunkenness that brought about the goddesses pacification. Such practices probably occurred in festivals for Bastet in Tell Basta, where this and other vessels were found. The vessels were buried in two caches close to the temple, along with silver and gold jewelry, ingots, and lesser objects. Rare in antiquity, most silver and gold vessels were later melted down and reused for new projects. The Tell Basta hoards are thus exceptional finds.Jars like this one, shaped like a long teardrop (situlae) were used for drinking.. SitulGlass perfume bottle. Culture: Roman. Dimensions: 5 7/8in.

The arched bridge is drawn with two parallel lines, and its pillars are indicated by four vertical strokes. The guardrails are represented by short lines emerging from the body of the bridge. The application of rich iron oxide under the thick white glaze creates the illusion of a misty landscape. Some Shino tea bowls with similar stylized compositions came to be associated with Chapter 45, The Divine Princess at Uji Bridge” (Hashihime), referring to a female deity protecting the Uji Bridge, enshrined in the Hashihime Shrine on the bridge’s west side.
