Although this post was found in northern Egypt such containers have also been recovered from the ancient Sudanese site of Kerma (Sub-Sahran Africa's first city). The decoration on these objects is thought to imitate basketry. More recently, it has been suggested that the vessel may represent types of huts that were common in the area. From Sedment, Egypt. Middle Kingdom, 1750-1500 BCE. The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, London (with thanks to The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, UCL).
