Description   

This bottle is inlaid in light brown with the cartouches of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. The forms of their names indicate that the bottle was made in the later years of the king's reign, when he resided in Amarna. Bottles of this type appear on stands in the banquet and palace storehouse scenes depicted in the tombs at Amarna. These vessels show the skill with which the faience workers ot Amarna were able to produce large objects as well as smaller pieces, such jewelry and inlays.
