Running a website with millions of readers every month is expensive. Not only do we pay for our servers, but also for related services such as our content delivery network, Google Workspace, email, and much more. We would much rather spend this money on producing more free history content for the world. Thank you for your help!
This is a redware pot. It depicts a woman with breasts and arms; she holds a spout (which is lost). There is a hole at the back of the pot for filling. From Egypt. Middle Kingdom, 2061 to 1690 BCE.

Associate Professor of Neurology and lover of the Cradle of Civilization, Mesopotamia. I'm very interested in Mesopotamian history and always try to take photos of archaeological sites and artifacts in museums, both in Iraq and around the world.
