Egyptian - Jar - Walters 481382

This jar was intended as a funerary gift and belonged to: "The one venerated before Anubis, who is within the place of embalming, the Osiris, the scribe Amenhotep." By the New Kingdom, the deceased were routinely identified with the god Osiris and was called "an Osiris." At this time, terracotta vessels were sometimes painted to imitate luxury goods made of glass or stone.
