Hearst Museum object titled Bowl, accession number 6-19784, described as Curved diorite bowl with five in-turned rim sections. Thin and translucent.

Hearst Museum object titled Bowl, accession number 6-19874, described as The bowl is carved from a single piece of stone. It is carved to have five “turned-in” sections of the rim. It has a shallow incised circle on the interior bottom. Probable materials: diorite gneiss or anorthosite gneiss (Egyptian name: mntt) This vessel appears to be made of a diorite gneiss used for Egyptian vessels and statuary. This stone is composed of translucent white plagioclase and dark hornblende with some biotite. Stones like this one, which are predominantly white with patches of dark minerals, are more specifically called anorthosite gneiss. See B. G. Aston, Ancient Egyptian Stone Vessels, Studien zur Archaeologie und Geschichte Altagyptens, Vol. 5, 1994, p. 62-64. Overall: 4.5 x 21 cm (1 3/4 x 8 1/4 inches).
