Exploring ancient Egyptian ceramic art in the New Kingdom
The volume publishes the painted pottery from the excavations at Karnak North by Jean and Helen Jacquet, and Philippe Brissaud. The material attests three categories: monochrome- and bichrome-painted, and blue-painted pottery, with the majority of the latter type. The forms occurring in each category are presented separately and the motifs employed upon each category are identified and presented in an extensive list. While the pottery derives from disturbed contexts, and the majority was dumped at the site and may have been moved several times, it is an important selection of material. This is especially the case with the blue-painted pottery. The collection enables a comparison of the categories to be made and their interconnections identified. The corpora of bichrome-painted pottery and blue-painted pottery are compared with those from elsewhere in Egypt and their evolution from the mid-18th to mid-20th Dynasties is analysed. The function of each category is reviewed and, in relation to the blue-painted pottery, the marks found upon certain forms are analysed to shed light upon this topic and its place/s of manufacture. Most of the blue-painted pottery is of the period covered by the reigns of Amenhotep III to Tutankhamun; its origin in the temples erected by Akhenaten at Karnak East is considered.
