Do not be surprised a lot .. the ancient Egyptians surpassed everything you expected !!
This is an ancient Egyptian (golden vase) in the form of pomegranate!
This vase was part of a votive display (meaning offering) that was dedicated to the goddess Bastet, who was taking the form of a cat.
The vase was found in the temple (Bastet) in the area (Tel Basta) in the east - and returns to the third transitional Boston, meaning nearly 3000 years ago !!
The body of the vase is decorated with small beads engraved in the shape of pomegranate as well. Pomegranate was among the fruits that were introduced into Egypt from Syria at the beginning of the era of the modern state.
The neck of the vase is decorated with four rows filled with exquisite floral motifs. These motifs include a frieze of floral leaves, a series of lotus flowers, bouquets of grapes and small flowers, a description of flowery roses and wreaths of flowers.
The handle consists of a wonderful moving ring that passes through a tape attached to the edge of the vase.
This magnificent Egyptian vase is now in the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir.
