Label TextThis juglet fragment belongs to a group of vessels called Tell el-Yehudiyeh ware, after the site in the eastern delta of Egypt where the first examples were discovered. This ware is distinguished by its geometric decoration formed by a series of punctured holes. In addition to the Levant and Egypt, similar vessels have been found on Cyprus and demonstrate the trade and cultural homogeneity existing in the entire region during the "Hyksos" rule in Egypt.Exhibition HistoryA Preview of the Collections, Schatten Gallery, February 15 - April 4, 1982
