| Comment | A core-formed lidded container made with white, opaque glass. The mouth rim of the container has been drawn out with a tool, and the base has been formed by application of a glass rod. The surface exhibits slight yellowing due to weathering, but since the weathering film has been stripped off at the inscription, it is possible to confirm the original opaque white. Part of the lid has been repaired. After annealing, a needle-like tool was used to inscribe the exterior of the container with "Amenhotep Hekawaset." the enthronement name of Amenhotep Ⅲ. The opaque white coloring was obtained by adding calcium antimonate. |
