Offering vessel (situla)

“In ancient Egypt bronze situlae, usually with a handle on top, were used for milk offerings in temples and in the mortuary cult of private tombs. [This example is] decorated in the typical manner, with a scene of baboons adoring the sun god in his solar boat, a procession of various deities, and lotus blossoms.” (Ed Gyllenhaal, label text, Glencairn Museum, Egypt gallery)
