Paracas Inscribed designs in the form of a bird dominate this bottle. One of the vessels two spouts is in the form of a three-dimensional, stylized bird head. The beak faces the opposing spout. The birds modeled head and neck join a flat rendition of the birds body along the surface of the vessel. Incised lines define abstracted wings, a tail, and legs. The wings and tail are further decorated with dots and secondary lines. Alternating sections of the birds body are decorated with red pigment. The remaining part of the bottle is undecorated. The surface of the bottle appears to have been burnished. The vessels form is reminiscent of a double spout and bridge vessel, a classic form in the Paracas culture of the south coast of Peru (700 B.C. - A.D. 1). Many Paracas double-spout vessels served as animated, musical devices, with one of the two spouts containing a whistle.

New Kingdom, Amarna Period The use of predominantly blue floral motifs in the decoration of terracotta vessels reached its peak during the reigns of Amenhotep III and Akhenaten. The principal component of the blue pigment that was applied to ceramic vessels before firing was cobalt. Numerous examples of ceramics decorated in this style were excavated by the Museum in the palace of Amenhotep III at Malkata, in Thebes (for example 11.215.460).This jar, datable to the middle to late reign of Akhenaten, may have held wine or beer to be served at a banquet. An elaborate polychrome floral decoration was painted on the shoulder and neck. The zigzag line around the neck, derived from the hieroglyph for water, was added to underline the presence of a cool drink inside.. Blue-painted Storage jar 546069Campania Napoli Naples S.

Sasanian Plain unglazed ceramics, like this jar, are the most common type of pottery found during the Sasanian period. This single handled, buff colored jar is typical of the period. The finds inside, however, are more interesting. Inside the vessel ten fragmentary metal amulet cases were recovered (32.150.95, 32.150.96, 32.150.97, 32.150.98, 32.150.99, 32.150.100, 32.150.101, 32.150.102, 32.150.103, 32.150.104). Traces of papyrus were found in one case, and it is probable that they all held magical protective texts written on papyrus scrolls. The jar was excavated from a house at the site of Maaridh II in the Ctesiphon area. The city of Ctesiphon was located on the east bank of the Tigris River, 20 miles (32 km) south of modern Baghdad in Iraq. It flourished for more than 800 years as the capital of the Parthians and the Sasanians, the last two dynasties to rule the ancient Near East before the Islamic conquest in the seventh century.
