Provenance

Jean Sigrist Collection, Basel, acquired in the 1960s – 1970s

Literature

There are similar examples in Brooklyn (acc. nos. 37.645Ea-b) but this example is rare as in addition to the integral stand, it has a separate rim. Cf. J. Vandier d'Abbadie, Catalogue des Objets de Toilette Égyptiens, Paris, 1972, pp. 74-75, no. 245 and Flinders Petrie, The Funeral Furniture of Egypt with Stone and Metal Vases, London, 1977, pl. XXX, 692.
