Collection Record
Pot
Semaineh is a site between Abydos and Thebes. Although over 480 miles south of Gerzah, its products might be taken as a later phase of Gerzean culture. The wavy-handled jars come in a great variety of forms. Varieties of decoration include depictions of birds and beasts, geometric designs and obscure comma-like designs.
