It's Miniature Monday! 🤏

This sherd of a ceramic jar is from Ancient Egypt, dating to around 664-30 BCE. This fragment sports a floral pattern painted over a bright green and yellow background. It is made of Egyptian faience, a quartz-based ceramic that emulates the colors of semi-precious stones and metals. This fragment's decoration and colors may have represented the sun, vegetation, and even rebirth in the afterlife. 🏺
