This golden bowl with a rosette in the centre from the reign of King Psusennes I of the 21st Dynasty is inscribed with the name of Wendjebauendjed, who was an army general of that period.
The artefact is decorated in the centre with a cloisonné, polychrome glass paste flower from which 23 grooves radiate.
It is thought that the central pattern represents the unification of the Two Lands by combining the emblems of papyrus and lotus that are the two symbols of Upper and Lower Egypt. From Tomb NRT III, Tanis. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
