K. W. x; NO. 44, LARGE BULGING JAR
This very large jar is in all probability a water-jar (zvr), and is to be compared as to
form with R. W. XVII-1 and 2, and as to size with R. W. XIII and XVIII and with
W. S. R. XI, XVII, and XVIII. It may also be compared with the larger forms of Bkt.

Globular bottles are well known in Egypt in Dynasty XII and earlier, but I do not know
the exact duplicate of our Kerma form. These vessels are of an extremely fine, thin walled
greenish ware, and were found by our expedition in Nubia in graves of the early C-group
period.1 K. W. XI-1 is decorated on the shoulder with a pattern of incised lines — a zig-
zag line between two spiral lines each of two turns. The surface of both is smooth, but
not polished.
It is merely to be noted that these two types occurred in only one example each, one in
K III and one in K IV.

Fragments of K. W. with bits of clay stuck on and with incised wavy lines were also
found in K XVI C and in K 1099, but it was not possible to determine whether they be-
longed to vessels of this type or to Type K. W. XX (see below).2
XVIII-2 K XIX: xxxi (large baggy jar).
This large jar occurred only in fragments. In 1915, large pieces and one complete jar
were found (K. W. CVII). As nearly as I could see from the pieces, this large K. W. jar
was directly related to the Nubian C-group jar.3
