Provenance: Previously with Kallos Gallery, London.

The Egyptians stored cosmetics (kohl) in squat containers usually made from stone. A kohl pot’s specialised function required a certain shape: broad, low proportions that fit in the palm of the hand, and an opening wide enough to allow the insertion of an applicator. The shape remained consistent and most such vessels were made of alabaster, but the Egyptian craftsmen also used different coloured materials to achieve variety. A similar example in anhydrite can be seen in the Brooklyn Museum, acc. no. 07.447.206
