EGYPTIAN POTTERY & SYMBOLIC VESSELS – Ancient Artifacts – 1876 Antique Print

This original 1876 antique print offers a beautifully engraved study of ancient Egyptian pottery, ritual vessels, and symbolic objects. Rendered with delicate lines and selective color accents, the plate features mirrors, amphorae, perfume bottles, and sacred emblems such as the ankh and lotus, each reflecting the ceremonial and daily functions of Egyptian life. Figures of servants and gods appear supporting ornate vessels, emphasizing the sacred roles of utility and symbolism in ancient art.

A central feature is a large elaborately ornamented amphora flanked by animal-headed vases and decorative fans. Smaller items include carved spoons, jars, and stylized pedestals used in temple and burial contexts. Published in Paris by Firmin-Didot for Auguste Racinet’s Le Costume Historique, this genuine lithograph measures approximately 7.5 x 10.5 inches and is blank on the reverse.
