Abstract

Publication of a New Kingdom ovoid bottle in the World Museum (National Museums Liverpool) from Gurob, originally found by Petrie and later obtained by F. G. Hilton-Price and H. S. Wellcome. The fabric and stylistic parallels of the vessel as well as its collection history and archaeological context is investigated in an attempt to highlight the degree of information available by exploring traditionally less noteworthy pieces in museum collections. A function of the vessel is suggested on the basis of context, parallels and shape.
