Kohl jar

Kohl Jar. Dimensions: H. 5.5 cm (2 3/16 in.); Greatest diam. 4.9 cm (1 15/16 in.); D. 3 cm (1 3/16 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 18, early. Reign: reign of Thutmose II-Early Joint reign. Date: ca. 1492-1473 B.C..
Hatnofer (36.3.1), the mother of Senenmut (36.3.252), received a rich burial in a small rock-cut tomb near that of her son. Her grave goods were deposited alongside her fine wooden coffin and included many objects from daily life. Inside one of the decorated baskets (36.3.59) were a smaller basket (36.3.60), an alabaster jar (36.3.61) , and this graceful kohl jar (36.3.63) with its wooden applicator (36.3.62). The jar had a crusty residue inside that was identified as galena, one of the minerals used as an eye cosmetic by the Egyptians. Hatnofer undoubtedly used the little eye-paint container and applicator during her lifetime.
