Situla 600 BC-100 AD Ptolemaic Period Situlae are vessels for libations.The type to which this one belongs is encircled with a particular arrangement of gods and scenes, and is frequently found, often with its loop handle still affixed. Examples are mostly rather small. Some examples with provenance (see 1976.63.3) seem to have been temple dedications. Unless there is excavation information, the objects cannot be closely dated but seem to relate to iconography popular from the Saite into early Roman periods.The scenes seen at the rim and in the central field on this object recur with minor variations on almost all situlae of this type. In the top register the sun-god in his day-bark is adored by baboons, while his night-bark is drawn by jackals. In the wider middle field the deceased is seen behind an offering table with a large lotus worshiping a number of deities led by the ithyphallic Amen-Re, who is followed by here by Horus, Isis and Nephthys, Ptah, Sakhmet and the Nefertum fetish
