Two Handled Jar and Lid decorated with a Resting Ibix Calf ca. 1390-1352 B.C. New Kingdom This jar belongs to a set that was purchased in Luxor from Sayed Molattam in 1923. The set is unusual because of the various creatures/deities decorating each lid. These include a resting calf (this jar), the head of the god Bes, the head of an ox, and a frog. The only parallel group was discovered in the Valley of the Kings tomb of Yuya and Tjuyu, the parents of Queen Tiye, principal wife of Amenhotep III. For this reason, the jars are tentatively dated to this king's reign.. Two Handled Jar and Lid decorated with a Resting Ibix Calf. ca. 1390-1352 B.C.. Limestone, paint. New Kingdom. From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes. Dynasty 18
