Churn
New Kingdom
The pieces of two large, open-mouthed. wood jars (one now in Cairo) were found in large baskets in a cache on the slope of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna hill below the offering chapel of Senenmut (TT 71). This one was made of two halves of a sycamore log. The mouth of the jar was reduced to a narrow oval with two boards that fit into the round opening. The oval shape suggests that jar may have been used as a churn. The halves of the jar were chopped into pieces several pieces before being placed in a basket and buried.
