Overview
Blue faience gives this round-bottomed flask its pomegranate form, crowned by a toothed calyx around a narrow opening. The label dates it to 1479–1425 BCE; the cultural attribution also allows later manufacture.
Cleveland links the vessel type to Egypt’s adoption of the fruit. Contents remain uncertain. Lucy Olcott Perkins and Henry W. Kent appear in its recorded custody before museum acquisition.
