This is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Now I’m going to have to hunter for a replica.

We have two replicas of these bowls from @pottedhistory.bsky.social and we love them.
Ancient, yet hilariously timeless.

There's something very Terry Pratchett about this!

A water bowl that follows its dog everywhere.

Give it a dozen more feet and it could be The Luggage’s water bowl

It's really cute. I could imagine that it was made for children. 🥰

This is quite possibly my favorite Egyptian artifact. I hope it gave its original owner great joy whenever they looked at it.
