Large Egyptian New Kingdom Alabaster Cosmetics Jar
An alabaster cosmetics jar for kohl. The ovoid body with drilled tubular interior, off-set disk foot and a wide flattened lip.
New Kingdom, Dynasty XVIII, 1550-1307 BC.
Height 8.6 cms (3.4 ins).
Very Fine condition a shallow chip to underside of rim attractive natural patina.
Provenance: Gottfried and Helga Hertel collection, Cologne, acquired in the 1970s.
The Ancient Egyptians (both men and women) wore kohl on their eyelids as protection against the glare of the sun. They would grind down galena, also known as kohl, on the palette and then mix it with an unguent that detracted flies and kept infectious bacteria at bay. This paste was deposited into a small jar, usually of alabaster. A tapered wand was dipped into this jar, and the black kohl mixture applied around the eyes. Its popularity was in part due to the aesthetics, in part to the medicinal value, but it also worked as a shield to the sun’s glare. All our items are supplied with an illustrated certificate of authenticity (COA) which will act as as a guarantee that all items are authentic and dated to the period stated.
All our items include shipping to mainland UK.
Buyers outside the UK and non-mainland UK need to email us for postage costs before buying. Overseas buyers need to check that the item they intend buying can be imported into their country and will be responsible for paying any customs and/or tax charges.
