Bottle with ribbed neck

Second Intermediate Period
ca. 1700–1550 B.C.
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 106
On assumption that a group of anhydrite vessels (10.176.46-.53 and 11.150.29 and 12.182.76a, b) said to be from Girga actually belonged together originally a late Second Intermediate Period date has to be deduced for all of them from the presence of a number of vessels in the shape of trussed ducks (see 27.9.1).
