Biconical alabastron with zones of bichrome decoration

Ptolemaic Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 134

The rim of this small faience bottle is missing, and the decoration not very clear. Three narrow registers of vegetal (?) ornament, the top one apparently garlands, lie below the rim. Most of the body is covered with a woven pattern.
