EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact known as the Kamares jar, originating from the Middle Kingdom of Egypt during Dynasty 1213, around 1981-1640 B. C. It was discovered in the Memphite Region, specifically Lisht North Cemetery in Radim. Crafted from pottery and adorned with vibrant paint, this small yet exquisite piece measures approximately 7 cm (2 3/4 inches) in height and 6.5 cm (9/16 inches) in width. The Kamares jar is believed to have been influenced by Minoan Crete pottery, potentially imitating its style. Originally consisting of three joined vessels with a loop handle for easy transportation, this particular design derives its name from a Cretan cave sanctuary where similar examples were found. As an important archaeological find, this Kamares jar offers valuable insights into ancient Egyptian trade and cultural exchange during the Middle Kingdom period. Its intricate craftsmanship and colorful decoration highlight the artistic prowess of artisans at that time.
