Reign: reign of Amasis. Date: 570-526 BC.The incised inscription on this large jar identifies the contents of the vessel as "Special ointment of the Manager of the Red-Crown Enclaves and Chief Physician, Harkhebi." The man to whom the jar belonged probably lived in the Delta town of Buto; the "Red-Crown Enclaves" was an ancient area of that town, and his name, which means "Horus of Khemmis," refers to the site near Buto where the infant Horus was hidden by his mother, Isis, as described on the Metternich Stela (No. 51).Ointments are frequently cited in medical papyri as a component in prescriptions, and the contents of this jar may have been employed by Harkhebi for that purpose. It is also possible that the jar was made for the physician's tomb, but this is less likely, since Harkhebi's name lacks the epithet "justified," which was usually appended to the name of the deceased.

(22.2 cm)Diameter (At widest point): 5 3/16 in. (13.2 cm). Date: 300-200 B.C..From about 700 B.C. to A.D. 700 the Paracas and later the Nasca resided along the southern coast of Peru. One feature the two cultures had in common was the use of a uniquely shaped ceramic drum with a cylindrical collar covered by a skin membrane that opened into a bulbous, hollow body terminating in a closed point. The significance of these rare and early examples of a past musical culture is yet to be fully explored. The largest of the amphora-like drums, 15 to 18 inches tall, were frequently decorated with incised and polychrome anthropomorphic and mythical beings. It has been suggested that these larger drums were for ritual use. The Museum's pair of drums are small by comparison and were perhaps played differently and in a different context. Iconographical evidence implies that they may have been bound together and strapped to the player's waist.

It is decorated with images of the Pure Land of Amida, the Buddha of Infinite Life and Light.

As shown on the lid of the urn, in the Pure Land, musical instruments float about playing by themselves.

By the time this vessel was madealmost 3,000 years later by the potters of the Chimú cultureceramic production emphasized efficiency and repetition rather than artistic and technological excellence. Although Chimú potters used the forms, imagery, and techniques employed by their predecessors, their wares can at times appear mass-produced in comparison. However, some vessels, even though made in molds, as is the present example, are well modeled with carefully finished surfaces, implying a considerable investment of time and skill. The black color was achieved by firing the ceramic under conditions of limiting oxygen, thereby generating soot that bound to the vessel surface. The pottery was burnished after firing to produce the shiny black surface. This bottle depictsModel of a typical late Bronze Age home, artefact from Tell Munbaqa, Syria.

Her grave goods were deposited alongside her fine wooden coffin and included many objects from daily life. Inside one of the decorated baskets (36.3.59) were a smaller basket (36.3.60), an alabaster jar (36.3.61) , and this graceful kohl jar (36.3.63) with its wooden applicator (36.3.62). The jar had a crusty residue inside that was identified as galena, one of the minerals used as an eye cosmetic by the Egyptians.
