News about ceramics from the Egyptian collection of the Civic Archaeological Museum of Modena
Abstract
This brief contribution provides the first news about some ceramic artefacts belonging to the Egyptian collection of the Modena Civic Archaeological Museum, showing a part of their inventorial history and recognizing, moreover, a fragment of attic pottery and a pilgrim flask of St. Menas. Strating from a general preamble dedicated to the composition and the historical inventories, it will be traced summary notes to outline the consistency of this series with its identification in the inventories. The text provides then a comparative table of the findings examined on the basis of the two historical inventories and the images of the objects treated.
