- Curator's comments
- Like Black top red ware B25d in Petrie’s Corpus of Prehistoric Pottery (1921). Grave B101 was the richest grave at the site and contained 19 varieties of fine pottery and many other interesting objects, the majority of which went to the Ashmolean Museum. For discussion of grave see W.M.F Petrie and A.C. Mace, Diospolis Parva, London (1901), p. 33, pl. v, where this pot is illustrated.
