Cosmetic jar

A museum object A historical object in a museum collection, described for history and education. It is not a Radler Parfums product.

The museum’s record describes an anhydrite jar with a narrow neck and a broad everted rim “which is chipped”, decorated in relief with a row of monkeys with long tails, and places it in “Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom, Second Intermediate Period”.

The record keeps to the museum’s own metadata on Zenodo: its title, date, accession number and description, each quoted from the filed record. It is a historical object, not a Radler Parfums product. 3D model: The Hunt Museum, via Zenodo, CC BY 4.0.
