Unguent Container of Siamun
Material: Ivory and Painted Wood
This unguent container was found in the small tomb of Hatiay, who was a scribe and superintendent of the grain store of the temple of Aten. The object is fixed to a simple rectangular base. The vase itself is a replica in miniature of one of the Syrian amphorae that were imported to Egypt during Hatiay's time. It is richly decorated in black on a red background.
