    "description": "Faience vessels with decorations in raised relief are typical of the early Roman Period in Egypt. Some have only vegetal patterns; others combine floral and geometric patterns with representations of animals. This vase may belong to a group which came from Memphis. The neck of the vase displays animals and fantastical creatures, the shoulder has a geometric pattern, and the lower portion of the body has a second frieze with lions, dogs and cats. The section above the foot has a vegetal pattern.",
