EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Barbotine cups and a small jar from the Meroitic Period, dating back to approximately 400 BC - 400 AD. Crafted from fired clay, these exquisite vessels are on display at the Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford, UK. From left to right, we first encounter a Barbotine cup adorned with grey and white sprays on its dark surface. This elegant piece features two handles for easy handling and adds an air of sophistication to any setting. Next is a small jar with a spherical body and straight neck. Its yellow surface is embellished with intricate black and yellow chequers on the neck, creating an eye-catching contrast that speaks volumes about ancient Nubian craftsmanship. The third item in this remarkable lineup is another Barbotine cup, boasting a regal purple hue adorned with delicate white sprays. With its two large handles resembling those found on kraters, this cup exudes both gracefulness and functionality. Lastly, we have Faras - an intriguing mention that piques curiosity about its significance within this ensemble. These ceramic treasures provide us with glimpses into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. Their timeless beauty serves as testament to the skillful artistry employed by Nubian artisans during this historical period.
